AMENDED 23/02986/FUL 1-12 And 14-19 Heath Close Swanley Kent BR8 7FD – COMMENTS DUE BY 14/01/2024
Proposal to demolish 18 units of existing temporary accommodation and construct 22 new family homes, in a mix of 3 bedroom houses and 2 bedroom apartments with PV panels, parking spaces and associated landscaping. Additional pedestrian footpath connecting to Alexandra Close.
This application has now been amended, and a summary of the main changes are set out below;
A response to the Urban Design Officers comments has been provided along with amended internal west and east elevation drawings.
NO OBJECTION – We support the Uban Design comments for the provision of both a hard and soft landscaping plan. Our recorded comments of the 1st December 2023 still hold. All trees should be protected against damage during the demolition and construction processes. Request that a bat survey is completed locally.
23/03426/HOUSE 46 Shurlock Avenue Swanley Kent BR8 7ST – COMMENTS DUE BY 15/01/2024

NO OBJECTION

Proposed second storey extension, rear single storey extension, loft conversion with alterations to roof including roof lights and internal alterations.
OBJECTION – We note that there have been four public objections to this application. We would like to add that the proposal is out of context with the surrounding properties in terms of scale and bulk, contrary to planning policy EN2. Parking is very restricted at this location and any additional vehicles parked on the road would further limit visual splays and would be detrimental to highway safety.
