Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character, appearance and scenic beauty of the area, being part of the Kent Downs AONB
- the effect on the setting of heritage assets
- whether there are any material considerations which indicate a decision should be made contrary to the terms of the development plan
What decided it
The social and economic benefits of providing four additional dwellings, assessed under a conventional planning balance with significant weight given to Framework policies on housing supply, outweighed the limited long-term harm to the AONB and less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed church.
