24/00528/FULL

Land At Mascalls Farm Badsell Road Paddock Wood Tonbridge Kent

Variation of Condition 2 of 19/03349/FULL – Substitution of drawings to reflect removal of relevant affordable housing obligations

Cllr Williams proposed,

Cllr A Mackie seconded:

Object.

When the original application was processed, the Borough requested 30% affordable homing. Berkeley’s offered 40% (16 of these properties being social housing). There is a high need for social housing for local people in Paddock Wood. PWTC strongly object to withdrawing the needed affordable and social housing. PWTC suggest the original figure of 30% as an option instead.

Carried unanimously

24/00827/MOD106

Church Farm And Land, Church Road, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent

Modification of Planning Obligation – Deed of Variation within S.106 agreement attached to 14/504140/HYBRID – Definition of Mortgagee

Cllr Williams proposed,

Cllr A Mackie seconded:

Object,

To the inevitable loss of affordable properties this would cause. 3 Months is a very short period in the current housing market. Suggest the timescale should be 6 months for the initial marketing for part buy, part rent properties. Once these properties are sold privately, they no longer become an option for future affordable housing.

Carried unanimously
