Background:
This report provided information concerning a proposed residential development of land between 5 and 11 Tennyson Avenue, Cliffe Woods, Rochester, ME3 8JF and requested the Cabinet to delegate authority for officers to release or vary the restrictive covenant on part of the land to permit residential development.
The report explained that the current owners were a registered charity and had obtained outline planning consent for the erection of a pair of semi-detached houses on part of the land (hatched black on the plan attached at Appendix 1) and had marketed the site. They had provisionally agreed with a potential purchaser to dispose of the hatched black area whilst retaining access and parking for the village hall. The proceeds from the disposal would be used to refurbish the village hall.
Before the development could take place the restrictive covenant, set out at paragraph 2.2 of the report, would need to be released or revoked.
