Planning Appeal in Dymchurch, Kent
Bowery Hall, Dymchurch
Full planning permission successfully secured on appeal for the proposed erection of a terrace of 4no. 2-bed dwellings on the site of a former community hall.
Planning permission had previously been secured to erect a terrace of 4no. 2-bed holiday let dwellings, but this model was subsequently considered financially unviable. Following a refusal by the local authority for an almost identical development intended for private dwellings, we took the scheme to appeal.
At appeal, the successful outcome rested on the submission of a detailed flood risk assessment and providing robust justification for the proposed rear gardens. This technical argument successfully proved the suitability of the scheme, despite the gardens falling short of the Council’s minimum space standards.
Overcoming Policy and Technical Deadlocks at Appeal
When restrictive space standards or complex environmental constraints like flood risks stall a development, a targeted planning appeal can unlock unviable sites. Moore Planning combines detailed technical evidence with rigorous policy analysis to overturn local authority refusals. We provide strategic appeal representation for developers and landowners across Kent and the wider South East.
