Mr Toby Huntingford (Principal Planning Officer) introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered Members’ questions. He referenced the supplementary report and clarified that condition 4 and the re-provision of speed humps would not be secured through a S106 agreement. He added that condition 4 would be secured through a S278 agreement and the re-provision of speed humps was a matter for parking services. Mr Huntingford also clarified half of the trees were proposed to be planted to the north of the car park and proposed pavilion whilst the other half were proposed to be planted in the area where the existing pavilion was currently situated. Mr Huntingford highlighted that the park is locally listed and the existing pavilion building is likely to be original to the park, and as such, Policy DMP7 is relevant. However, the building is dilapidated and no longer fit for purpose, and that he less than substantial harm to the heritage asset was outweighed by the benefits of the proposal.
Mrs Suzanne Murpogo (in remote attendance) spoke in support of the application on behalf of John Billam and Tenterden Parks and Neighbourhood Group and answered Members’ questions.
