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 the living conditions of neighbouring residents of 2 and 4 Hartsdown Road with regard to outlook, light and outdoor space and whether acceptable living conditions for future occupiers would be provided, with regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay European site
What decided it
The absence of a planning obligation to secure financial contributions for mitigation measures required by the SAMM meant the adverse effects on the European site's integrity could not be avoided or mitigated, necessitating refusal under the Habitats Regulations.
