Summary

The Planning Committee of Gravesham Council met on Wednesday, 12 June 2024, to discuss several planning applications. Key decisions included the approval of a change of use for Mary Ann Doyle House, the refusal of a retrospective application for a single-storey extension at 5 Alanbrooke, the approval of a children's residential care home at 219 Wrotham Road, the deferral of a decision on 11-13 Queen Street for a site visit, and the approval of the permanent mooring of Lighthouse Vessel 21 at St Andrews Quay.

Mary Ann Doyle House, Seymour Road, Northfleet

The Committee approved the application for the change of use of Mary Ann Doyle House from a hostel to a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO). The property will accommodate 12 individuals with minor internal alterations and no external changes. The decision was based on the sustainable location of the property, availability of on-street parking, and the provision of cycle storage.

5 Alanbrooke, Gravesend

The Committee refused the retrospective application for a single-storey rear extension at 5 Alanbrooke. The extension was deemed excessive, harming the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area, and resulting in inadequate amenity space. The decision was influenced by the need to maintain planning standards and the potential precedent that approving the extension could set.

219 Wrotham Road, Gravesend

The Committee approved the change of use from a dwellinghouse to a children's residential care home at 219 Wrotham Road. The care home will accommodate three children and two carers, with no extensions proposed. The decision was based on the property's suitability for providing a secure and welcoming environment for children in need of care.

11-13 Queen Street, Gravesend

The decision on the application for a roof extension and rear infill extension at 11-13 Queen Street was deferred for a site visit. Concerns were raised about the narrow entrance alleyway and the overall impact on the conservation area. The Committee agreed that a site visit would provide better insight into the application's implications.

Lighthouse Vessel 21, St Andrews Quay, Royal Pier Road, Gravesend

The Committee approved the permanent mooring of Lighthouse Vessel 21 at St Andrews Quay. The vessel will serve as a cultural hub, providing facilities for learning and non-residential institutional uses. The decision was based on the vessel's contribution to the cultural and tourism offerings in Gravesend, despite some concerns from local residents about obstructed river views.
