Objections
Kent Structure Plan
Policy ENVl
T e proposed development is contrary to Policy ENVl which
states that the countryside will be protected for its own sake,
and development will not be permitted unless there is an
overriding need which outweighs the requirement to protect the
countryside. In my/our opinion there is no clear justification
to make an exception to this policy in this case.
Policy ENV2
The proposed development is contrary to Policy ENV2 which would
not normally allow development which would loose valuable
landscape features and of an unspoilt quality free from urban
intrusion and the need does not outweigh these countryside
considerations. In my/our opinion there is no clear
justification to make an exception to this policy in this case.
Policy ENV3
The proposed development is contrary to policy ENV3 where the
local planning authority will provide long term protection and
priority to the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty
including landscape over other planning considerations in the
area of the North Downs. In my/our opinion there is no clear
justification to make an exception to this policy in this case.
Policy T6
The proposal conflicts with policy T6 where facilities and
services at appropriate locations on primary routes will
normally be permitted, provided that any conflict with
environment policies is outweighed by a demonstrated need for
the facility.
Policy RS1
The proposed development conflicts with policy RS1 which states
that all development in the open countryside should have
particular regard to countryside conservation and preserve the
character of the countryside.
Policy s4 '
[he proposed development conflicts with policy S4 which states
long term protection will be afforded to areas and sites of
strategic importance for nature conservation and landscape.
(For those not familiar with it, the Kent Structure Plan sets
out Kent County Councils broad strategy for land use and new
development. It lays down the policy framework for the
district councils local plans and development control and
indicates the scale and general location of future development,
until the year 2001).
