REFERENCE FROM PLANNING COMMITTEE

 

 

WEST STREET, HARRIETSHAM, KENT

 

The Planning Committee, at its meeting held on 6 October 2016, approved application 16/505808 – Subdivision of dwelling to create 2 separate dwellings (part retrospective) – 12 West Street, Harrietsham, Kent.

 

Arising from the discussion on the application, the Committee also agreed to ask the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee to look, in consultation with the appropriate County Council Member, at traffic and parking issues in West Street, Harrietsham, and the surrounding area, and how they might be addressed by Traffic Regulation Orders.

 

The Planning Committee’s request was considered by the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee at its meeting held on 8 November 2016.

 

Whilst the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation

Committee acknowledged that its responsibilities included district

highways and car parking functions, it indicated that it would be content for issues such as those described above to be referred direct from the Planning Committee to the Maidstone Joint Transportation Board.  It is therefore:

 

RECOMMENDED:  That the Maidstone Joint Transportation Board look, in consultation with the appropriate County Council Member, at traffic and parking issues in West Street, Harrietsham, and the surrounding area, and how they might be addressed by Traffic Regulation Orders.
