DHA was part of the team that recently secured approval on appeal for the development of student accommodation in Canterbury for its client, Canbury Holdings.
The success follows an earlier refusal, when the Planning Committee overturned a recommendation to approve due to concerns about the impact of the development on the city’s medieval walls.
The proposed redevelopment of the former Victorian St Mary Bredin School by Canbury Holdings into 146 bedrooms in 17 clusters of flats had been supported by the Council’s conservation team and with Historic England, but some committee members has disagreed with this advice.
