Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to relevant local policies
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect on the setting of St Peter and St Paul's church (grade II* listed building)
  • The effect on the integrity of the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Ramsar site and Special Protection Area

What decided it

The impact on the integrity of the Ramsar site and the Special Protection Area, which the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations preclude from proceeding.

The benefits of housing delivery and support for local services were not of great force and did not outweigh the significant objections relating to character and appearance harm and the decisive impact on the Ramsar site and SPA.
