Planning committee

Decided by Thanet Planning Committee on 22 Apr 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because vehicles could not enter and leave in forward gear safely near a signalised junction.
  • Two representations supported the application, citing road safety, emergency-service delays and congestion.
  • The committee agreed to refuse the application because the access would severely harm highway safety.
