Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the loss of trees and open space
- the effect on the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area (SPA), and Sandwich Bay and Hacklinge Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), with particular regard to recreational disturbance
What decided it
The absence of a five-year housing land supply and the engagement of the presumption in favour of sustainable development meant that the moderate harm to character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The moderate adverse impact on character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the considerable benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits and social benefits, assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, particularly those directing development to sustainable locations and making effective use of land.
