The partial demolition of and alterations to the grade II listed Wildernesse House.

The proposal was for partial demolition of and alterations to the grade II listed Wildernesse House.  It had been referred to Committee at the request of Councillor Hogarth who was of the view that the proposal should be considered in conjunction with planning application SE/14/01562/OUT so that the development could be considered as a whole.

Members’ attention was brought to the main agenda papers and the late observation sheet which added planning history and clarification to the report but did not change the recommendations before the Committee. 

The Chairman asked whether the speakers wished to address the Committee again and they confirmed that they were all satisfied that their points had already been made when speaking to minute 123 - SE/14/01562/OUT Wildernesse House, Wildernesse Avenue, Sevenoaks  TN15 0EB.

It was moved by the Chairman and duly seconded that the recommendation in the agenda papers as amended by the late observations, to grant planning permission subject to conditions be agreed.

The motion was put to the vote and it was

Resolved:  That planning permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:
