Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounds, including the Horton Kirby Conservation Area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of Tranby Croft having regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would not result in demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounds or the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, and therefore complies with the relevant development plan policies and national guidance.

Plan policies cited: Policy SP1 of the Sevenoaks Local Development Plan Core Strategy February 2011, Policy EN1 of the Sevenoaks Allocations and Development Management Plan February 2015, Policy EN4 of the Sevenoaks Allocations and Development Management Plan February 2015, Policy EN2 of the Sevenoaks Allocations and Development Management Plan February 2015
