Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the development's effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- whether the potential effects on the Thanet Coast and Pegwell Bay Special Protection Area would be satisfactorily mitigated by the submitted legal undertaking
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the area's character and appearance and unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, which conflicts with the development plan and is not outweighed by the scheme's benefits.
