RESOLVED:  That permission be refused for the reason set out in the report amended as follows

 

The proposed development and associated domestic accoutrements  would be detrimental to the character and visual amenities of the area representing an undesirable consolidation of, and extension to, an area of built development in the rural area outside the defined urban boundary and due to the cramped nature of development in comparison to the surrounding properties would be out of character with the character and appearance of this small rural enclave located close to the urban area of Maidstone, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, National Planning Practice Guidance 2012, Policies ENV6 and ENV28 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000 and Policies SP17, DM1, DM3, DM4 and DM34 of the Maidstone Borough Local Plan Publication May 2016 (Submitted version).
