Boughton Service Station, Heath Road, Boughton Monchelsea, Maidstone, Kent, ME17 4JD

A pre-commencement condition was agreed with the applicant concerning the betterment of the existing petrol station. Specifically condition 5 which reads as follows:

“Within 3 months of the date of this decision, the sides of the petrol station canopy shall be painted Olive Green (RAL 6003). Thereafter the petrol station canopy sides shall be retained in that colour and not subsequently changed in colour.

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship with the landscape and the wider area.”

The applicant has noted that this is not a pre-commencement condition as it refers solely to the implementation within three months of decision date and not to pre- commencement of car wash activities.

The case officer is in agreement and requests to update the condition to the following;

“Before first operation of car wash activities, the sides of the petrol station canopy shall be painted Olive Green (RAL 6003). Thereafter the petrol station canopy sides shall be retained in that colour and not subsequently changed in colour.

Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship with the landscape and the

wider area.”

Officer recommendation remains unchanged
