22/03536/FUL Land North of Old Place Farm Beechenlea Lane Swanley Kent BR8 7PR – COMMENTS DUE BY 30/01/2023
Redevelopment of site consisting of the demolition of buildings and erection of a single storey building comprising 3 No. storage units with associated hardstanding and use of existing vehicular access on to Beechenlea Lane.
WITHDRAWN
22/03191/FUL Land East Of Farningham Hill Stables Farningham Hill Road Farningham Kent – COMMENTS DUE BY 25/01/2023
Material Change of use of Land for the creation of 8 Gypsy/Traveller Pitches comprising 1 mobile home, 1 touring caravan, 1 dayroom and 2 parking spaces per pitch (net increase of 7 Static Caravans). Erection of gate.
OBJECTION – This is in green belt land and will affect the openness of the area which will be ruined. This site will be visible from the ancient woodland, Farningham Woods, which is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and also close to an area of outstanding beauty. The road from the site will lead onto the busy A20 which has a speed restriction of 60 m.p.h. Large vehicles coming out from the proposed site would create safety issues. The site itself is subject to over intensification. It would appear that all gypsy sites are concentrated to the northern end of the Sevenoaks District. A more even distribution is needed.
