Description: 1.1 Members will recall that this application was deferred from the February Area 3 Planning Committee (copy of the report attached as an Annex) for a Members Site Inspection. The Inspection was held on the 27 March 2008 at 16:30 hours. 2. Consultees (bought forward from the supplementary report): 2.1 Private Reps: One additional letter of objection received raising no new issues. 3. Determining Issues: 3.1 The principle of converting a garage and workshop within the residential curtilage of White Lodge to ancillary accommodation is an acceptable form of development in this rural location. The proposed gym is to be used as ancillary accommodation by the applicant and his family. It is not proposed that the gym will be available for members of public or as a private gym club. To ensure that the gym is used solely in connection with the residential use of White Lodge, I am proposing to impose condition to restrict the use. 3.2 The proposed works will improve the visual appearance of the building and remove some of the hardstanding by creating a lawn in front of the existing garages. Details of the landscape works can be covered by condition. 3.3 During the Members’ Site Inspection, the applicant verbally stated that commercial vans that were sometimes stored outside the garages would be removed and any commercial activity stopped should the building be converted to the gym.

  • 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.
