Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the historic environment, including on the Northdown Conservation Area and on the settings of East Northdown House, Cottage Adjoining East Northdown House to the Southwest (now known as Mockett Cottage) and East Northdown Cottage with Barn Attached, which are Grade II listed buildings
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of East Northdown Cottage
  • the effect of the proposal on the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area and Ramsar Site and the Sandwich Bay and Hacklinge Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest

What decided it

The harm to the conservation area and listed building settings, combined with increased traffic disturbance to neighbouring occupiers and lack of secured ecological mitigation, outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
