APPLICATIONS

a

MC2007/0170: 29 Galleon Way, Lower Upnor

After discussion, it was proposed by Cllr Moore, seconded by Cllr Etheridge and agreed the Council object as follows:

Frindsbury Extra Parish Council objects to this application. The comments of objection to a similar planning application on this site in 2007 (MC2007/1793) are reiterated:

It is considered the proposed front elevation, which would be a precedent on this estate, would be detrimental to the street scene. The creation of a brick wall on the boundary with the next door neighbour on what is at present an open frontage may well be some loss of amenity to the neighbour.

The Parish Council is also concerned at the loss of parking provision for one vehicle. Parking is a problem on this estate and complaints about this are received regularly by both the Parish Council and the Upnor Residents' Association

b

MC2008/0201: 174 Frindsbury Hill, Frindsbury: Loft conversion, single storey rear extension and new roof to garage

No objection

c

MC2007/2068: 4 The Packhouse, Noke Street Farm, Wainscott: Change of use from storage to a workshop related to a sand blasting and powder coating business (use Class B2): Notice of receipt of an acoustic assessment by Medway Council
