Planning
Thanet District Council resolved to grant detailed planning consent for 13 dwellings (reference: F/TH/25/0319) on 15th November 2025, with authority delegated to Officers to deal with the Section 106 Agreement.
The layout provides a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroomed dwellings. The site has been designed with sympathetic landscaping and vernacular materials. The access onto Court Road is to be relocated with improvements to the public footpath, forming part of the Section 106 Agreement. Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) will be met through a combination of on site and off site provision. The off site provision is provided on land which is also owned by the landowner and will be included in the sale. A plan is available in the information pack.
The Officer’s report confirms the contributions which will be payable and the improvements to the pavement leading into the village. The Vendors’ solicitors are dealing with the Section 106 agreement.
