Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area because the visual intrusion on the wider landscape would be limited by the backdrop of existing substantial built form, and the development would not extend beyond the defined urban extent of Dymchurch.
