Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building, 8 Six Bells Lane, and the extent to which the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sevenoaks High Street Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area through its discreet position, modest scale and subservient nature, thereby satisfying the statutory duties under sections 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

Framework references: 203

Plan policies cited: EN1, EN4, SP1
