Land Adjacent To Elm Tree, Mile Oak Road, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 6NJ | Outline (all matters reserved except access) – Erection of 4 dwellinghouses with associated parking | Cllr Williams proposed, Cllr R Moon seconded:
Object due to the danger of a vehicle access point on a staggered four-way junction where vision is already difficult. This will increase the risk of collisions further with the additional use of the access proposed. The plans and diagram only show access for a singular car. This will force cars to que to get in and out of the plot, forcing them to wait on the busy junction area, causing further risk. The proposed drive and parking area appears small for emergency vehicles and bin lorries. The parking area may encourage refuse lorries and delivery lorries to simply pull up on Queen Street, causing further obstructions to the junction. The junction dangers need to be taken seriously when revising the application. One of the main issues the previous application for this property was refused was on highway risks. There is history of accidents within the transport report confirming some of these accidents in recent years. The proposal does not recognise the history of flood risk in the area. This is an area in only recent years surface water flooding affected homes and emergency services were on site pumping this away. A surface water management plan needs to be in place for this reason. Carried unanimously |

FULL |
43 Le Temple Road, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 6HY | Garage conversion, extension and new roof | Cllr C Williams proposed, Cllr A Mackie seconded:
Object due to the loss of parking. Parking is severely under pressure in this area, so allocated/private parking is crucial to these properties. If the application is approved, TBWC should be mindful to add some form of a parking condition. Carried unanimously. |
| 24/01831/
FULL |
17 Woodlands, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 6AR | Single storey rear and side extension and porch | Cllr C Williams proposed, Cllr R Moon seconded:
Object on the grounds of overintensity. The plans are going to the boundary of the site with the next-door neighbours. There is no surface water management plan with regards to the extra roof space, in an area that is affected by surface water flooding during high rainfall. Carried unanimously. |
