    General Matters

    Minutes:

    (1)       The Head of Planning Applications Group reported that the Examination Hearing stage of the Kent Minerals and Waste Plan Early Partial Review had now concluded with some minor modifications being made as a result of the Examination process. These would be subject to public consultation in late 2019 and any views received would be forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate so that the Inspector could consider them in finalising his report.  This report was expected in early 2020 which, subject to his views, would allow the Local Plan to be adopted.

     

    (2)       The Head of Planning Applications Group then informed the Committee that, following a request made by a member of the public for the Secretary of State to call in the Maidstone Girls Grammar School and the Maplesden Noakes School, Maidstone applications (Minutes 20/47 and 20/48), the Secretary of State had decided not to do so.

    (2)       The Head of Planning Applications Group informed the Committee that the applicants had agreed to include photovoltaic panels as part of the development.  This necessitated an additional condition requiring the submission of details and that they be installed when the development was completed and the deletion of the relevant recommended Informative.

The first of these specified that the School Travel Plan should include a review of the efficiency of the 30-minute opening and closing of the vehicular accesses and the need for longer opening times as well as the adequacy of the facilities for pedestrians in the vicinity of the site. The second Informative encouraged the applicants to consider the provision of additional electronic charging points, including the installation of passive infrastructure for such works as part of the development.
