- Inspector
- De Freitas Terceiro P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with reference to the Kent Downs National Landscape
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of The Silvers, The Greystones and Chapel House with regard to private outdoor space, privacy and outlook
- whether adequate parking provision would be provided
What decided it
The proposal would be located outside the built-up confines of the settlement on curtilage land excluded from the definition, conflicting with the spatial strategy, and would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions.
