Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Keston Village Conservation Area

What decided it

The installed door design, unlike the faux-Georgian design originally proposed, closely replicates the proportions of the original shopfront and thus preserves the character and appearance of the Keston Village Conservation Area.

Plan policies cited: Policy HC1 of the London Plan 2021, Policy 41 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019
