RESIDENTS claim their sea view will be destroyed by a newbuild – and the council made them even angrier with an excuse.<\/p>\n
Plans for almost 50 "brutalist" flats at the former St Saviour's hospital site in\u00a0Hythe, Kent, were approved today.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The proposals previously sparked fury among locals as one of the buildings, which is five storeys tall, is two metres higher than originally planned.<\/p>\n
Residents fear the development, which sits on a "dramatic" upward slope exceeding 23 metres, will tower over neighbours and invade their privacy.<\/p>\n
Now the authority's chief planner Llywelyn Lloyd has added insult to injury responding to arguments about the visual impact of the block, KentOnline reported.<\/p>\n
During a Folkestone and Hythe District Council (FHDC) meeting, the development was given the green light.<\/p>\n
