Application progress
Refused on 8 Jul 2026 · Committee Decision · Last checked 10 Jul 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Medway Planning Committee on 1 Jul 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because there was no HMO over-concentration and the proposal would provide good living conditions without harming neighbours.
- Seven objections raised concerns about neighbour amenity, security, parking, highways and the cumulative impact of HMOs.
- The committee rejected the officers’ recommendation and refused the application because of parking pressure and the loss of a family dwelling.
