Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Northdown Road Conservation Area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers in Madeira Road with regard to privacy
  • Whether satisfactory provision would be made for refuse storage facilities
  • The effect on the integrity of the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area

What decided it

The failure to secure a properly executed unilateral undertaking to mitigate the adverse effects on the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area rendered the proposal incapable of proceeding under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations.

The benefits of housing delivery and the windfall site's contribution to housing supply were outweighed by the overriding consideration that the proposal would adversely affect the integrity of the Special Protection Area without a secured mitigation mechanism.
