PLANNING APPEAL OVER MARGATE HOMES DISMISSED

An appeal by the owners of a former raillway line in Margate has been dismissed by a Government Inspector. The council had previously refused the planning application for eight new homes on the site between Nash Road and Nash Court Gardens. The reasons for refusal included the fact that it would be on undeveloped land and that the proposed scheme would look out of keeping with the surround ing ar ea. The council was also concerned that the scheme would not provide for a cycle route through the site. The Government Inspector agreed with the council on all of these points in dismissing the appeal, as the site is not allocated for housing and he did not believe that it had been developed previously. He also decided that two of the proposed dwellings would unacceptably overlook neighbouring properties.
