Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the countryside and the Medway Valley Landscape of Local Value
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Kingfisher View, Heron House, Riverdale and Coot Cottage, with particular regard to disturbance and privacy
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the countryside and Medway Valley Landscape of Local Value, and would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise, disturbance and loss of privacy, contrary to the development plan.
