Planning committee
Decided by Medway Planning Committee on 17 Dec 2025. Earlier deferred on 22 Oct 2025. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Refused
- Officers advised approval because the site was suitable, amenity was acceptable and parking impacts could be controlled by conditions.
- Residents and the ward councillor raised concerns about parking, noise, overdevelopment, loss of a family home and fly tipping.
- Members rejected approval and refused the application because of additional movement affecting neighbours and inadequate amenity in two bedrooms.
