Church Farm And Land Church Road Paddock Wood Tonbridge Kent. The construction of 60no. dwellings, associated infrastructure and landscaping (as an additional parcel of development to that approved under 14/504140/HYBRID)

b)21/03297/FULL

Fairfield Old Hay Brenchley Tonbridge Kent TN12 7DG. Conversion of three existing outbuildings to residential use with associated amenity space, parking and biodiversity enhancements

Cllr C Williams proposed and Cllr D Kent seconded that the Council object to the application on the following grounds

· The location is unsustainable as future residents will be dependent upon the use of the private car due to the rural location.

· The area is subject to surface water flooding.

· The ecology report appears inaccurate as it mentions the presence of numbers of bats but has not identified roosting areas so cannot demonstrate that these are not in the buildings earmarked for redevelopment. Unanimous.
