Strategic Director (Internal Services) 10 March 2021 Civic Centre, Home Gardens, Dartford, Kent, DA1 1DR Tel: 01322 343434 Web:www.dartford.gov.uk INTRODUCTION The function of the Development Control Board is to consider planning applications and also to take enforcement action against breaches of planning control and related matters. AGENDA LAYOUT Reports on a planning application describes the application site, the proposed development, any relevant planning history, responses from those who have been consulted on the application along with any other comments received, and, lastly, a report on the main planning issues relevant to the application. The reports also contain a recommendation to the Board Members, generally either for refusal or approval. The recommendation appears at the beginning and at the end of each report. There is a narrative by the Planning Officer of his/her consideration and the reason for refusal, or the conditions to be attached to an approval, are set out at the end of the report. UPDATE The main agenda is printed some time before the Board meeting. The Update is a document which is prepared the day before the meeting and circulated to Members. It provides information about applications to be considered at the meeting which has emerged since the agenda was printed. This could include further comments from interested parties, recent changes to the application and amendments to the recommendation. Copies of the Update are made available to the public. THE MEETING The Chairman and Vice-Chairman sit on the dais at the front of the Council Chamber. Planning Officers sit on their right and a legal representative and the Committee Co-ordinator usually sit on their left. The Chairman may take agenda items in an order which reflects the degree of public interest. The Chairman will propose each item and invite Members to indicate if they would like to discuss. If an item is not proposed for discussion, the Chairman will ask Members to vote in accordance with the Officer recommendation. However, those items where a member of the public has registered to speak against the Officer recommendation will be discussed by the Board. There will be no need for public speakers to address the Board if the speaker was going to support the Officer recommendation. For items for discussion, the Planning Officer will usually make a presentation, describing the proposal, outlining the main planning considerations and concluding with the recommendation. Where a request to speak has been made by 12 noon on the designated date, and granted, the Chairman will invite speakers to sit in a designated area equipped with microphones. Where the Officer’s recommendation is to allow the application, the objectors will have the opportunity to speak first, followed by any supporter. The reverse order will apply in cases where the Officer’s recommendation is that the application be refused. Each speaker will be allowed three minutes to make their points. Members or Officers may clarify any points with the speaker(s) before Members consider the application. Thereafter, no public speaking will be allowed and the speaker(s) will be asked to return to the public gallery. The Chairman has the discretion to curtail or extend speaking in individual cases if it is considered appropriate. VIRTUAL MEETINGS Where a meeting is held virtually all participants will be sent an electronic invitation with details of how to access the meeting. The meeting will be live streamed on YouTube. Public speaking will be permitted in accordance with the Public Speaking Protocol (limited to 3 minutes or no more than 400 words in length to be submitted in writing in advance of the meeting). SITE MEETINGS If it becomes apparent during the Board’s deliberations on an application that the Board cannot fully appreciate the impact of a proposal without seeing the site first, Members may decide to defer the application so that a site meeting can be held. If agreed, the item will not be discussed further at this meeting.

The Swanscombe Street junction has the provision of double yellow lines to deter inappropriate car parking within the area, and safeguards the junction. The use of the site is already operating and extending the hours outside of the peak hours on the highway network does not cause any capacity issues in this case. Therefore, I do not believe there are any highway safety or highway capacity reasons for refusal on this variation of condition.” Comment: Given the comments of Kent Highways I do not consider that the proposal will have any additional detrimental impact on highway safety to warrant a refusal of the application.

The Board Chairman, Councillor Hunnisett, welcomed Mrs Jane Lynch to her first meeting of the Board. Mrs Lynch had recently been appointed as Interim Development Manager to replace Ms Sonia Collins, who has been appointed as the new Head of Planning Services. The Chairman also reported that the Board Vice Chairman, Councillor Ian Armitt, had resigned as a Member of the Council for personal reasons. He informed Members that Councillor Armitt was a long standing Councillor and Member of the Board and that his judgement and good sense when dealing with difficult applications and issues would be missed in the future. The Chairman asked that the best wishes of the Board be passed to Mr Armitt and his wife on this new phase of their lives.

At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

The investigations revealed signs of a human presence as early as the Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic period, with further occupation in later prehistory, though few features pre-dating the Roman occupation were identified. Although there was a little evidence for activity in the early Roman period the most extensive and significant phase of occupation of the site was during the 3rd and 4th centuries when a small settlement was established, apparently over part of an earlier field system. The core of the settlement however, lay beyond the area of investigation and therefore it was difficult to ascertain its likely extent and function, though it was probably part of a complex network of small agricultural settlements that occupied much of the Darent Valley and areas beyond during the Roman period.

  • A Community Vision for Hartley
    A Community Vision for Hartley March 2018 2 A Vision - Hartley Urban Extension A Community Vision for Hartley Prepared by DHA Planning on behalf of Billings Group, the Leigh Academies Trust and Chapel Wood Enterprises. March 2018 A Community Vision for Hartley This submission is made to Sevenoaks District Council in support of a proposed expansion to Hartley and Longfield, in order to assist with the Council’s projected housing need for the emerging Local Plan. The Council have identified a need for at least 12,400 houses in Sevenoaks District between 2013 - 2033 (an annualised target of 620 dwellings per annum). There is therefore a need for the Council to assess the most sustainable forms of development to meet this housing need – through the process of a robust Sustainability Appraisal process – and this document seeks to provide the Council will the necessary information to fully appraise the site, and also to compare to other, perhaps less sustainable options put forward. We believe this site is located within a sustainable location, adjoining the existing settlements, outside of the AONB which has a good level of services and infrastructure. What is also of note is that this proposal would allow for the enhancement of this existing provision and also a number of additional community benefits, which would not otherwise come forward as a result of the other or disbursed development.
