Planning History
A recent planning applications PA/2022/2574, for a detached contemporary-style home was submitted but subsequently refused and then refused again at appeal by the Planning Inspectorate (Appeal Ref: APP/E2205/W/23/3331061). The main reason given for refusal related to the design of the contemporary nature of the proposed dwelling and particularly its impact within the Aldington Conservation Area.
It is noteworthy that during the application process, there were no objections from the Parish Council or neighbouring property owners regarding the principle of a new dwelling being built on the site, so it is believed that there may be scope for a revised proposal to be re-submitted in line with local planning policies and taking into account the Inspectorate’s feedback.
Interested parties must carry out their own enquiries and consult with professional planning advisors.
