Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the safety and convenience of users of the highway, with particular regard to parking and access arrangements
- Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character, appearance and significance of the Ramsgate Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to the amount of outdoor amenity space
- Whether the proposed development would affect the integrity of the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area and Ramsar site, a protected European site of nature conservation importance
What decided it
The site's location close to the town centre with good public transport accessibility, combined with the proposed development's design that would preserve and enhance the conservation area and provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, outweighed concerns about parking provision and recreational pressure on the SPA, which would be mitigated through a secured planning obligation.
