“That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:”

 

‘The proposed development by virtue of its design, location, scale and proximity to adjacent buildings would represent a cramped and congested form of development and the loss of an important area of open space that provides relief within the streetscape, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the surrounding area – contrary to policy D1 of the Thanet Local Plan and paragraphs 58, 61 and 64 of NPPF.”

 

Upon being put to the vote, the motion was declared CARRIED.
