Planning Committee Report 14 February 2018 REPORT SUMMARY REFERENCE NO Planning Committee Report 14 February 2018 REPORT SUMMARY REFERENCE NO - 17/00795/FULL APPLICATION PROPOSAL Demolition of four derelict agricultural buildings and construction of four detached dwellings with associated parking, landscaping and access from Hartley Road ADDRESS Agricultural Buildings Hartley Road Cranbrook Kent RECOMMENDATION – Refuse (See Section 11 for the full recommendation) SUMMARY OF REASONS FOR REFUSAL - In the absence of a 5 year housing land supply the housing provision policies are considered to be out-of-date. Paragraph 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that permission for sustainable development be granted unless “specific policies in this Framework indicate that development should be resisted”. The footnote to para 14 includes those policies related to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). - The proposal is not considered to be sustainable development, and is considered to be harmful to the AONB. - There are objections in highway safety terms to matters arising from the intensified use of the access onto a primary route - The application is recommended for refusal on four grounds: - 1. The proposal is not considered to be sustainable development and, due to the harm it would cause to the AONB the NPPF indicates that development should be restricted. - 2. The proposal would intensify the use of an access onto a primary route with insufficient visibility, spacing between junctions and pedestrian footway provision. Proposal fails to demonstrate the provision of a safe and suitable access. - 3. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal would not be harmful to protected species. - 4. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal would not be harmful to important trees. - All other material considerations have been taken in to account and are not considered to outweigh the identified harm that the proposal would cause. INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF PROPOSAL The following are considered to be material to the application: Contributions (to be secured through Section 106 legal agreement/unilateral undertaking): N/A Net increase in numbers of jobs: N/A Estimated average annual workplace salary spend in Borough through net increase in numbers of jobs: N/A The following are not considered to be material to the application: Estimated annual council tax benefit for Borough: £654.40 Estimated annual council tax benefit total: £6,544.00 Annual New Homes Bonus (for first 4 years): £4,000.00 Planning Committee Report 14 February 2018 Estimated annual business rates benefits for Borough: NA REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE Called in by Councillor Holden on the following grounds: Material Planning Grounds: The fact that the site is outside the current Limits to Built Development and in the AONB; The impact on the character and appearance of this prominent site and surrounding area; The suitability of the access to serve the proposal and highway safety issues. Reason that warrants discussion at Committee are: The context of the site, particularly at the access point. WARD Benenden & PARISH/TOWN COUNCIL APPLICANT Mr John Wickham Cranbrook Cranbrook & Sissinghurst AGENT BTL Design Parish Council DECISION DUE DATE PUBLICITY EXPIRY DATE OFFICER SITE VISIT DATE 29/08/17 03/11/17 05/04/17 RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY (including appeals and relevant history on adjoining sites): None MAIN REPORT 1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SITE 1.01 This site stands within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and outside the Limit to Built Development (LBD) of Cranbrook. It is at the edge of Hartley, located some way away from the main groups of dwellings on either side of Hartley Road that could be considered to comprise the core of this substantial group of houses outside the LBD and thus, for current policy purposes, is considered as being within the open countryside. 1.02 The application site measures some 0.23 hectares and is served by an existing access track through a gateway set back from the carriageway across a paved apron. The length of the access route is about 30 metres before it enters the site proper. The access point onto Hartley Road is about 45m north of its junction with Glassenbury Road, B.2085, and 90m south of its junction with Swattenden Lane. Hartley Road in the vicinity of the site is subject to a 40 mph speed limit. There is no footway on the site side of Hartley Road with one on the opposite side that runs to Cranbrook. The site adjoins Glassenbury Road on its west boundary where there are a number of roadside mature trees on a low roadside bank and verge. The Bull Farm complex of agricultural buildings is on the other side of Glassenbury Road which now includes dwellings formed from converted farm buildings as well as the original farmhouse together with commercial uses. Adjoining the site to the north and east are paddocks with Hartley Gate Farmhouse some 50m distant. 1.03 The site is currently occupied by the remains of a group of four agricultural buildings which are in various stages of dereliction. There is no discernible yard area as such with the space around and between these structures having reverted to grass. This Planning Committee Report 14 February 2018 links to the land to the east and north, also down to grass, and there is little demarcation between the group of buildings and the surrounding paddocks. 2.0 PROPOSAL 2.01 The proposal is to clear away the remains of the existing buildings and erect four new dwellings in locations that approximate to the positions of the existing structures around a central vehicle circulation area, with the access route to Hartley Road consolidated and, in part, widened to accommodate passing vehicles. The access is wide enough to accommodate pedestrians. The proposals comprise a one-bed, a two-bed, a three-bed and a four-bed unit, each having a simple gable ended profile, two having lower eaves on their rear elevations creating a catslide roof. Accommodation is provided in or partly within the roofspaces. Finishing materials include both grey slate roof tiles and black horizontal weatherboarding above brick plinths on Units 1 and 4, and profiled metal roof sheeting finished in grey and vertical timber boarding above brick or block plinths on Units 2 and 3. UPVC/aluminium/timber windows are specified with UPVC and conservation style rooflights. Externally, modest areas of curtilage are formed from the adjoining paddocks with either hedged or fenced boundaries indicated. Each plot has open parking accessed from the common circulation space. 2.02 Visibility splays at the access are shown as 58 metres in both directions with the one to the south extending beyond the Glassenbury Road junction. There is no footway here along the site side of Hartley Road. Details have also been added showing the position of trees along the Glassenbury Road frontage. 2.03 The application is supported by a Planning, Design and Access Statement, updated since first submission to take account of KCC Highways comments and for clarification in respect to distances from the site to local bus stops. Further comments made by KCC Highways have been addressed by an Access Technical Note. 2.04 When originally submitted the site was shown with a new access onto Glassenbury Road but this has since been amended to use the existing access from Hartley Road. 3.0 SUMMARY INFORMATION Existing Proposed Change (+/-) Site Area 0.23 ha Land use(s) including floor area(s) Agriculture Residential Car parking spaces (inc. disabled) Nil 9 +9 No. of storeys Single 1.5 – 2.0 Max height Not known 6.6m n/a Max eaves height Not known 4.6m n/a No. of residential units 0 4 +4 Sizes of units: 1 bedroom n/a 1 +1 2 bedroom 1 +1 Planning Committee Report 14 February 2018 3 bedroom 1 +1 4 bedroom 1 +1 No. of affordable units 0 0 n/a 4.0 PLANNING CONSTRAINTS Agricultural Land Classification Grade 3 (This information is taken from the MAFF 1998 national survey series at 1:250 000 scale derived from the Provisional 1” to one mile ALC maps and is intended for strategic uses.

  • B2086 Benenden Road and Cranbrook Road, (Tilsden Lane to Binan Cottage)
    Road Maintenance in Your Area Road Surface Improvement B2086 Benenden Road and Cranbrook Road, (Tilsden Lane to Binan Cottage) Cranbrook, Tunbridge Wells When we plan to carry out the work and how long it will take This is to let you know that, as part of the on-going maintenance and improvement of the highway network, Kent County Council will be working to improve the road surface of Chequers Road, Goudhurst between the junctions of A262 Cranbrook Road and North Road. These surface treatment works will start on Wednesday 10th May and should take 2 days to complete, with working hours between 7am and 7pm. This type of work can be affected by bad weather, so if it is not possible for us to carry it out at this time, we will arrange a new date and let you know via a letter drop to your home. We will also put up signs along the road before we start showing the date we plan to start work. During these essential works it will be necessary to close the road completely so that we can carry out the works safely for both the workforce and road users. The diversion route will be via Benenden Road, Swattenden Lane, A229 Hartley Road, Angley Road, Willesley Pound roundabout, A262 Sissinghurst Road, The Street, Chapel Lane, Golford Road, New Pond Road, and B2086 Cranbrook Road (And vice versa) What we plan to do We are going to use a product called ‘Micro-Asphalt’ to improve the road surface. Micro-Asphalt is quick to apply, which means less disruption to road users, residents, local businesses and the emergency services.

  • Benenden Walk 10.7 Miles (17.2Kms) Allow 5.5 Hours
    Benenden Walk 10.7 miles (17.2kms) allow 5.5 hours ime h T ug ro T lk a W A Benenden Walk distance 10.7 miles (17.2kms) allow 5.5 hours This 10-mile circular walk around the village of Benenden shows the western part of Kent at its best. The route follows the established High Weald Landscape Trail through small fields, orchards and woodland. There are superb views over the Weald from St George’s Church, Benenden, and the footpath leading back to Cranbrook. The full route takes in the parkland that makes up the grounds of Benenden School, and the ancient culvert at Strawberry Wood, crossing the Roman Road below Stream Farm and the site of an original Roman ford, capturing the historic features and rural character of Kent’s High Weald perfectly. A History of Benenden South of Cranbrook is the picturesque village of Benenden, which prospered from the 14th century as an important centre of the Wealden iron and cloth industries. Before that, the name indicates that it was one of the dens, or woodland clearings, common in this area of the Weald, where Saxon farmers drove their domestic pig herds from the north and south downs every autumn to feed on the fallen acorns, chestnuts and beechnuts that littered the forest floor - a practice that was known as pannage. The trackways they established from driving their animals to the forest and back again all ran north-south and developed into the roads in use today. The clearings were originally owned by parishes settled earlier in the open lands of the north and south, who wanted to use the forest resources.

  • An Initial Investigation of an Early Routeway and Boundary, Possibly Prehistoric, in Bedgebury Forest
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society AN INITIAL INVESTIGATION OF AN EARLY ROUTEWAY AND BOUNDARY, POSSIBLY PREHISTORIC, IN BEDGEBURY FOREST NICOLA R. BANNISTER AND DEBBIE BARTLETT Atwo-yearcommunity archaeology project funded by the 'Local Heritage Initiative' investigated some of the archaeological features in Bedgebury Forest on be half of the Forestry Commission. Local volunteers undertook archive research and fieldwork i n 2006/7 under the guidance of the authors to identify and record the history of Bedgebury Forest. This paper presents some of the findings of the project and in particular describes in detail a linear multi-ditched and banked earthwork which runs in an almost continuous line from the south-west corner of the Forest at Flimwell (E. Sussex) north-east towards Hartley on the edge of Cranbrook parish. Branching from this feature are other linear earthworks. Bedgebury Forest occupies an upland plateau dominated by extensive coniferous plantations on former ancient coppices, woodland and wooded heath. Traces of the former woodland and lieathland cover can be seen around the edge of the Forest and in small pockets along streams and valleys. On its east and south-east sides are deeply incised valleys occupied by gill woodlands. To the north-west lies Bedgebury Park, an eighteenth-century parkscape developed from a Tudor deer park. The National Collection of coniferous trees is located at Bedgebury - the pinetum started by Sir Alexander Beresford-Hope in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The highest point reaches 120m OSD and the lowest 60m OSD.

Introduction 1.1 Neighbourhood Planning regulations set out the need for a Consultation Statement which explains the steps taken by those creating the Neighbourhood Development Plan to involve the wider community in its construction. Engagement with the community should include setting out a vision for the parish, illustrating key concerns, aims and objectives. 1.2 Benenden Parish Council published the Benenden Parish Plan in 2015. The plan was based on a detailed survey of residents across a number of issues including housing, employment, health & wellbeing and infrastructure. One aspect of the plan concerned future housing supply, lack of affordable housing and the need for a neighbourhood plan. The Parish Council called for volunteers to work on a Neighbourhood Plan. A group of volunteers first met on 25 May 2017. 1.3 Evidence to support the Neighbourhood Plan, particularly Housing Needs Survey (2015), was drawn from the Parish Plan and supplemented through a Business Needs Survey (2017) and input at workshops and exhibitions (Oct 2017 – Jan 2018).
