I have just been notified about a planning proposal for an ‘Erection of a storage barn with associated mobile poultry shed and mobile home for establishment of organic egg enterprise’ on land At Park Farm, Park Lane Wormshill.
The planning application is ’18/504492/FULL’ and can be most easily found on MBC’s website:-
https://pa.midkent.gov.uk/online-applications/, using ‘Wormshill’ as the Parish, ‘North Downs’ as the ward and w/c 3rd September as the relevant week (although it was not on the list for that week, I assume it will be on this week’s list, to be received Friday 14 September).
This may lead to more traffic down Park Lane, potentially via larger vehicles than is currently the case, as well as developing a currently open area, potentially creating a precedent. I am already aware of at least one resident who has concerns and so suggest anyone who shares these should contact MBC. I will also relay any wider concerns to our ward councillor, Patrik Garten.
You may also notice application ’18/504678′ being submission of details on application ’18/502277′ (already approved) on the erection of two new agricultural buildings for calf rearing and a first floor extension to the existing milk and rest room building to create a farm office at Pond Farm, Bottom Pond Road. The main application has already been approved and is an extension to the existing farm.
