PE18 DECISIONS BY TUNBRIDGE WELLS BOROUGH COUNCIL

Application	Address and details of proposals	TWBC decision	Town Council Comments
a)22/01338/FULL	Erection of 4 bedroom detached house \| Land To West Of 21 Eastwell Close Paddock Wood Tonbridge Kent TN12 6UH	permitted	Object to the application on the following grounds Parts of the site are in flood zones 2 and 3 and the entire site is adjacent to the common watercourse Gravelley Ways that frequently over tops. Local residents already undertake culvert and stream clearance of this watercourse on a regular basis in addition to that carried out by the UMIDB in order to prevent flooding of properties (gardens and garages are frequently flooded) Building on the space will eliminated the spaces role in reducing surface water run off, as will removal of any of the trees. In the event dead trees are removed they should be replaced with similar species to maintain the absorption of surface water. The location of the proposed new dwelling on a bend is hazardous to vehicle and pedestrian safety. The Council suggests that the original developer left this area open in light of the flooding issues at this location. UMIDB should be consulted on this application as they require access to the watercourse and their bylaws require a specific distance between any development and the edge of their drainage assets
b)22/01180/FULL	Extension of existing driveway and widening of driveway opening, including new bin store, drop kerb and relocation of existing lamp post. \| 3 Blackberry Way Paddock Wood Tonbridge Kent TN12 6BP	Permitted	No objection subject to the driveway surface being permeable and not tarmac as described in the application. Changes in legislation permit hard surfacing of more than 5 square metres of domestic front gardens only where the surface in question is rendered permeable
c)22/00445/FULL	Variation of Condition 6 of 16/500798/FULL – Changes to opening hours to 07:00am – 20:00pm Monday to Friday; 07:00am – 19:00pm on Saturdays; and not at any time on Sundays and Bank Holidays. \| British Car Auctions Eldon Way Paddock Wood Tonbridge Kent TN12 6BE	Permitted	Extensive objection
