Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location for a new dwelling with particular regard to its proximity to services and facilities, and the spatial strategy in the development plan

What decided it

The proposed development fails to meet Policy SP4's requirement that windfall housing adjoin or be very close to the built form of a settlement with reasonable facilities, as the appeal site is separated from Deal by considerable undeveloped land and a railway line, and future occupiers would be dependent on private car travel for day-to-day needs.
