Meeraraj Ltd
Statutory 8 week date: 15 February 2007
DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)
1.
The proposed two storey extension would by virtue of its height, bulk and
extent have an over dominant and intrusive impact on the residential
amenities of the adjoining property, 152 Barnhorn Road, and is contrary to
Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011
and Policy GD1(ii) of the Rother District Local Plan.
2.
The proposed development results in the creation of some bedroom
accommodation that fails to provide a satisfactory level of amenities for the
occupiers in terms of room size, natural light and outlook. The proposal is
therefore considered to be contrary to Policy GD1(i) of the Rother District
Local Plan.

The application does not make provision for 40% affordable housing on site
and has not fully and financially demonstrated that affordable housing could
not be provided on the site or that it would make the development of the
12
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
whole site uneconomic. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies HG1
and DS1(ii) of the Rother District Local Plan 2006.
The proposed development would, if permitted, be out of character with the
locality by the creation of a continuous façade and a density and mass
unrelated to the established development in the locality. The proposal is
therefore considered to be contrary to Policy S1(b) and (f) of the East Sussex
and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1(iv) of the
Rother District Local Plan 2006.
The proposed development would, if permitted, be out of character with and
detrimental to the amenities of neighbouring residences by reason of
overlooking, the overbearing scale of the proposed building and disturbance
through vehicle movements to the occupier of 49 Barnhorn Road. The
proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy GD1(ii) of the Rother
District Local Plan 2006
It has not been demonstrated that the proposal can be drained satisfactorily,
in terms of both surface water and foul drainage. The proposal is therefore
considered to be contrary to Policies GD1(ix) and GD2 of the Rother District
Local Plan and Policy S3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure
Plan 1991-2011.
It has not been demonstrated that the proposal has been developed with due
regard to the probable existence on the site of species protected by the
Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 and
the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 as required by Policy GD1(vii) of
the Rother District Local Plan 2006.
It has not been demonstrated that the level of car parking proposed in the
scheme is adequate to serve the scale of development proposed and the
proposal would be contrary to Policies GD1(iii) and TR3(i) of the Rother
District Local Plan.

Mr P Stavri.
Statutory 8 week date: 29 March 2007
DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)
1.
The proposed development if granted would introduce to the residential
environment an unacceptable level of overlooking of neighbouring properties,
a poor relationship to plot size and layout in the area, overdevelopment
14
leading to site cramming, noise and disturbance from motor vehicles using the
communal parking area and potential security implications associated with the
communal parking area. The proposed development would conflict with
Policies S1(b)(s)(e) contained within the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove
Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policies GD1(ii)(iv)(xi), HG4(i)(vii)(xi) and

1.
The proposed dwellings by reason of their siting and height will have a poor

the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.
9.
The ridge height of the dwelling hereby approved shall not exceed 6.8m in
height.
Reason: to safeguard the amenities of the neighbouring properties in

Drawing ref. 06-792/103D proposed house plan 07/11/06
REASONS FOR GRANTING PERMISSION: The position of the replacement
dwelling lies within the development boundary for Peasmarsh as defined within the
Rother District Local Plan. Although set to the rear of dwellings fronting School Lane
and is a replacement of a bungalow with a chalet bungalow, the insertion of obscure
glazing into windows at first floor level on the north and east elevations will preserve
the privacy of neighbouring properties. Its amended siting (following the earlier
refusal) closer to the western boundary of the site and the relocation of the garage,
while having some greater impact than the existing smaller dwelling, maintain the
wider outlook of the residents of ‘Raymaur Lodge’ and ‘Eureka’. As such the
proposal meets the objectives of Policies S1, EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and
17
Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011, and Policy GD1 of the Rother District
Local Plan.

1.
The proposed dwellings by reason of their siting and height will have an
unacceptable impact on adjoining residents. The existing dwellings adjoining
to the south have small gardens, which would be dominated by the flank wall
on the proposed dwellings. As such the proposal fails to meet the general
aim of Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan

Local Plan in terms of safeguarding the amenity of existing and future

Policy Guidance Note 8 and Policy EN30 of the East Sussex and Brighton &
Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.
3.
The screen planting shown on the submitted plan shall be carried out at the
time of development or at such later date as may be agreed in writing by the
Local Planning Authority, and in any event within 6 months from the
completion of the development. Any plants removed, becoming severely
damaged or diseased, or which die within 5 years of planting shall be
replaced by plants of similar size and species to those originally required to be
planted.
Reason: To improve and maintain the characteristics of the locality and to
accord with Policies S1, EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton &
Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1(iv)(v) of the Rother District

18
REASONS FOR GRANTING PERMISSION: The Local Planning Authority is
satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated justification for a higher level of
coverage in the area, that alternative sites have been investigated, and that the
proposal strikes an acceptable balance between the applicant’s technical
requirements and the impact upon the visual appearance of the landscape and the
High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The application is therefore
considered to accord with Government Advice contained in PPG: 8

3.
Within one month of the new access being brought into use or at such a time
as shall have been agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority, the

Within one month of the new access being brought into use the existing
access to the south-west of the dwelling shall be closed-off to vehicular traffic
in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved by the Local
Planning Authority.
Reason: To retain a single point of access for vehicular traffic in the interests
of highway safety and in accordance with Policy S1(d) of the East Sussex and
Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1(iii) of the Rother
District Local Plan.
Details of any works or alterations to the existing stone bridge that may be
required shall be submitted for the consideration and approval of the Local
Planning Authority before being carried out. The development shall only be
carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure that any such details take into account the stability of the

1.
Standard time period.
2.
No development shall take place until there has been submitted to and
approved by the Local Planning Authority, a scheme for new hedge planting
within the areas identified on the approved plan. The scheme shall include the
details of the species of plants, the size of plants, the spacing between plants,
and the pattern of planting (i.e. number of staggered rows).
Reason: To enhance the appearance of the development and to accord with
Policies S1(j) and EN2 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure
Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GDG1(v) of the Rother District Local Plan.
3.

REASONS FOR GRANTING PERMISSION: The site lies within the established
boundaries of the Pestalozzi Community and the development is required in
association with the existing residential use of the Trust. The new built development
would be confined to a small part of the site and new and existing tree/hedge
planting would provide screening to mitigate against the impact of the development
in the AONB landscape. The proposal is in accordance with Policies S1(j) and EN2
of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

London Ashford Airport Ltd
Statutory 8 week date:
DECISION: THAT SHEPWAY DISTRICT COUNCIL BE ADVISED THAT ROTHER
DISTRICT COUNCIL WOULD SUPPORT THE PROPOSALS TO EXTEND
LONDON ASHFORD AIRPORT ON THE BASIS OF THE ECONOMIC AND
REGENERATION BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSALS TO THIS AREA OF EAST
SUSSEX AND KENT. HOWEVER ANY SUCH EXPANSION SHOULD ONLY TAKE
PLACE ON THE BASIS THAT THE SURROUNDING TRANSPORT
INFRASTRUCTURE BE IMPROVED AS NECESSARY AND THAT SHEPWAY
DISTRICT COUNCIL IS SATISFIED THAT AN INCREASE IN AIR TRAFFIC CAN
BE ACCOMMODATED WITHOUT ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ON THE
ADJOINING AREA AND THAT APPROPRIATE CONTROLS ON NIGHT FLIGHTS
AND FLIGHT PATHS ARE IMPOSED.
(Councillor C.N. Ramus declared a personal interest in this matter and in accordance
with the Members’ Code of Conduct remained in the room during consideration
thereof.)
