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
Mr Lloyd said: "Most residents that previously had a view will have a view, and we're talking about two metres extra above the top of the previous St Saviour's building.<\/p>\n "Nobody has a right to a view \u2013 they're lovely and we'd all like to keep them, but we don't have a right to them."<\/p>\n The 1960s private hospital was shut in 2015 and bulldozed last year, with FHDC approving the outline plans in 2016.<\/p>\n Labelling the plans "monstrous", neighbour David Ellerby said: "We would be overlooked by 60 bedrooms."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Trevor Ballard, who also lives next to the site, added: "It's got higher and they've moved it higher up the bank \u2013 it's just ridiculous."<\/p>\n Hythe Town Council's planning committee said the development was "over-intensive" and would have a "detrimental impact on the local infrastructure".<\/p>\n Developers Ureco Properties said: "The current proposals have sought to address all comments, whilst achieving a scheme that significantly enhances the previously consented outline application."<\/p>\n<\/picture>SEA SORE <\/span><\/p>\n
