The application number is F/TH/09/0915 if you go to the council’s planning website http://www.ukplanning.com/thanet and stick it in the application ref search box you can view the plans.

Below is a quote from the planning inspector that has a lot to say about the power of unelected quangos.

“I would clarify that the Council’s officers clearly recommended approval of the scheme and that elected Members overturned the recommendation. Concerns about the Council’s handling of the applications are beyond my remit as is making observations on an alternative sketch plan showing less dwellings and dedicated parking and amenity spaces. Having taken account of all relevant written representations on file and having taken into account the reasons for refusal, the issues raised in these cases do not require me to hear a discussion or ask questions; the written procedure is adequate to determine these cases.”
