Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the significance, character and appearance of the Trent and Mersey Canal Kent Green Conservation Area and the setting of the grade II listed Trent and Mersey Canal, three locks and two intermediate Basins with Dry Dock off Upper Basin

What decided it

The size and scale of the proposed balcony would make it unduly prominent in views from the south east and would result in harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and setting of the listed locks that is not outweighed by any public benefits.
