Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on sites of ecological value
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the erosion of the open space characteristic of the southern side of Manston Road, outweighed the limited benefits of three additional dwellings even when the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework was applied.
the adverse impact of the development on character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of three dwellings, such that the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework was insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan
