Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay Special Protection Area (SPA), Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Ramsar site

What decided it

The low but long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to the development plan and assigned great weight, combined with unresolved concerns about effects on the designated ecological sites, outweighs the minimal support from tourism and employment policies.
