Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would accord with local policies and national guidance regarding the location of housing
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its immediate setting and the Kent Downs National Landscape
What decided it
The small enhancement to the immediate setting through removal of the Nissen huts and modest boundary planting improvements, combined with omission of the car barns, was sufficient to satisfy the policy requirement for enhancement and justify allowing the reuse of the redundant buildings.
Plan policies cited: Policy HOU5, Policy ENV3b, Policy SP1, Policy SP2, Policy SP6
