Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether an adequate provision of affordable housing would be provided
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that the scheme could reasonably provide the affordable housing contribution previously agreed with the Council, combined with effective mitigation for the Special Protection Area through the SAMM tariff and acceptable integration into the character of the area, justified allowing the appeal.
