Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers at No. 21 Canterbury Road
  • whether the development would comply with the housing mix requirements of the Council
  • whether the development would provide adequate refuse storage

What decided it

The proposal's adverse effect on character and appearance, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and non-compliance with housing mix requirements, could not be outweighed by the limited housing and environmental benefits.
