Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon Stodmarsh, the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area (the TSSPA) and the Thames, Medway and Swale Special Protection Area (the TMSSPA) as habitats sites
  • whether or not the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to policies for the location of new housing

What decided it

The proposed development would have significant adverse effects on the integrity of Stodmarsh, TSSPA and TMSSPA habitats sites without adequate mitigation being secured, precluding the proposal under section 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.

Framework references: 180
