Introduction 1.1. This statement is submitted in support of a planning application for the building operations associated with the change of use of an existing light industrial building into seven residential dwellings, which was recently approved under Prior Approval reference 20/503164/PNPA at Chapel Mill Farm, Lenham Heath. A copy of this decision is attached as Appendix 1. 1.2. This applicant is seeking planning approval in respect of the operational development required in connection with the previously approved change of use of this building. The proposed building works would include alteration to the pitch of the roof (to a height according with that previously approved under reference 20/502506/FULL), for the insertion of windows and doors, and alterations to the external materials on the building. 1.3. This supporting statement provides a written description of the proposed development and is accompanied by drawings to show the application site and the proposed development. Supporting Planning Statement BLOOMFIELDS | REF 06.010.2511 4 March 2020 2. Site context 2.1. The application building is rectangular in shape with mainly blockwork external walls and a pitched roof. There is an adjoining addition with timber clad walls and a corrugated roof sited on the southern elevation. 2.2. The building is located within the site known as Chapel Mill Farm, which comprises a cluster of buildings, including the Grade II listed farmhouse, Chapel Mill, around an area of hardstanding. The site is accessed from a private track which runs north from Lenham Heath Road. The application building is located 20m west of the private access track and 80m north of Lenham Heath Road. 2.3. The site is outside of the village envelope, to the south of Lenham Village, southeast of Sandway, and northwest of Lenham Heath. Extract from site location plan showing the application building outlined in red (not to scale) Supporting Planning Statement BLOOMFIELDS | REF 06.010.2511 5 March 2020 Relevant planning history 2.4. Application reference 20/503164/PNPA granted Prior Approval for the change of use of the building from light industrial (B1) use to seven residential dwellings on the 14th September 2020. A copy of the decision notice is attached as Appendix 1. 2.5. Prior to that, planning application reference 20/502506/FULL granted planning permission for the raising of part of roof of the building on 6th August 2020. Application reference 20/501338/LDCEX granting a Lawful Development Certificate (Existing) as to the existing use of the building for light industrial purposes was certified on 2nd June 2020. Planning history for the wider site 2.6. In respect of the wider site, planning application reference 17/504326/FULL granted planning permission for the conversion of the storage building into five residential units on 4th December 2017, following Lawful Development Certificate (Existing) application reference 16/506887/LDCEX certifying on 15th December 2016 the use of the building for storage. Planning application reference 19/500401/FULL followed, granting planning permission for the provision a new vehicular access from Lenham Heath Road to serve the 5 residential units. 2.7. On 13th May 2014, planning application reference MA/14/0286 was granted permitting the construction of a residential annex. 2.8. Planning application reference MA/03/0371 was granted permission on 6th June 2003 allowing the occupation of Chapel Mill Cottage as a single dwelling house. Other relevant planning applications 2.9. Prior approval was granted for the chnge of use of a light industrial building to use as two dwellings at Unit 6 Little Pivington Farm Hubbards Hill Lenham Maidstone Kent ME17 2EJ (under reference 20/501689). A subsequent proposal for the building works required was approved under reference 20/504012/FULL. Supporting Planning Statement BLOOMFIELDS | REF 06.010.2511 6 March 2020 2.10. Prior approval was granted for the change of use of another light industrial building to residential use at Fairbourne Inch Fairbourne Lane Harrietsham Maidstone Kent ME17 1LQ (under reference 20/502678). A subsequent proposal for the building works required was approved under reference 20/504533. Supporting Planning Statement BLOOMFIELDS | REF 06.010.2511 7 March 2020 3. Proposal 3.1. This application seeks planning permission for operational development associated within the approved change of use of this light industrial building at Chapel Mill Farm to seven dwellinghouses, to include alterations to the pitch of the roof (no higher than previously approved), the insertion of windows and doors and changes to the external materials. 3.2. Whilst Prior Approval application 20/503164/PNPA granted approval for the change of use of the building under Class PA of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 2019 (as amended), it is acknowledged that any associated works relating to the conversion of the building would require a separate submission, along with the relevant details. This application therefore seeks planning consent for such necessary building operations. 3.3. The main building will accommodate six no. 1 bed residential units, with a seventh 1 bed unit and storage space located in the adjacent addition to the building’s southern elevation. Each residential unit will be accessed via the western elevation: the 6 no. units in the main building will have triple openings which are symmetrically spaced along the elevation. The seventh unit is to be accessed via a double opening door flanked by a floor to ceiling window. Each unit has a window on the eastern elevation, equally spaced along this elevation. The southernmost section of the building is retained as storage, served by a single small window on the western elevation; pedestrian door and 2 small windows on the eastern elevation; and a further pedestrian door and double opening on the southern elevation. There are no openings on the northern elevation. The intention is to create a balanced appearance to the building while serving each residential unit with ample natural light and the storage area with sufficient access. 3.4. The windows and doors are to be finished with a grey frame. 3.5. The existing building is finished with painted block external walls and a corrugated roof. This application seeks to replace the external finish with vertical Yorkshire boarding, along with a fibre cement slate tiled roof. This will be more in keeping with the rural setting, matches the units previously approved at the site under application reference 17/504326/FULL, and reflects the building’s history as originally an agricultural building and latterly a rural, light industrial unit. Supporting Planning Statement BLOOMFIELDS | REF 06.010.2511 8 March 2020 3.6. The location of the proposed windows and doors and proposed materials are fully detailed on drawing number 1461 P002, an extract of which is provided overleaf. Extract from drawing number 1461 P002 4. Relevant policy 4.1. Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that “a determination must be made in accordance with the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise”. Supporting Planning Statement BLOOMFIELDS | REF 06.010.2511 9 March 2020 4.2. For the purpose of this planning application, the Development Plan comprises the Maidstone Local Plan, which was adopted in October 2017, 4.3. In addition to the development plan the Government published the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in April 2019. 4.4. This section of the statement highlights the relevant policies within the Council’s development plan in respect of this application. 4.5. With the principle of the change of use having already been established via Prior Approval decision

Abstract Abstract Improvements in railway capabilities have resulted in heavier axle loads and higher speed operations. Both of these factors increase the dynamic loads on the track. As a result, railway subsidence has become a threat to good railway performance and safe railway operation. Poor infrastructure performance requires more maintenance work, and therefore the life cycle costs of the railway will increase. In order to ensure good performance and reduce life cycle costs, railway subsidence should be monitored and predicted. The author of this thesis provides an approach for railway performance assessment through the monitoring of railway subsidence and prediction of railway subsidence based on a time series of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The railway is a long and relatively narrow infrastructure, which subsides continuously over a long time period.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

For example, planning permissions that were granted some decades ago may not have shown up in our searches, so the results may or may not satisfy the request. I have not carried out searches outside the term “Motorcross” or “Motocross” so it’s possible that there may be other cases that are similar but fall outside this exact description.
