Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Hythe Conservation Area
  • highway safety with particular regard to visibility

What decided it

The harmful impact on the character and appearance of the Hythe Conservation Area, which would fail to preserve or enhance the character of the designated asset, outweighed the absence of highway safety harm.
