Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the Old Dover Road, Oaten Hill and St Lawrence Conservation Area
  • impacts upon the integrity of Stodmarsh Nature Reserve without mitigation

What decided it

The absence of mitigation or assurance that the development would be nutrient neutral meant the proposal would be detrimental to the ecological importance of Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, requiring dismissal despite the acceptable heritage impact.
