Clarification was sought regarding the wording of the agreed motion for item 4 – Land on the North west and South East Sides of Shottendane Road, Margate.  It was explained that the motion instructed officers to investigate potential reasons for refusal of the application that could be considered by the Committee before making its final decision.  It was noted that it would have been poor practice and unlawful to refuse the application before considering this information, and without reasons at the point of refusal, as decisions must be based upon evidence based reasoning.

It was proposed by Councillor Albon and seconded by Councillor Hart that Members agree option 4.1 from the report, namely that:

 

“Members REFUSE the application on the lack of sufficient affordable housing, as outlined at paragraph 2.6 in the report:

 

2.6 The proposed development, by virtue of the proposed level of affordable housing, would not meet the identified need for affordable housing in the district, thereby not providing the required homes to create a balanced and mixed community.  This harm is considered to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the development, therefore the proposal would not constitute sustainable development and is contrary to Strategic Priority 3 of the Thanet Local Plan and the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.”
