- Whether the proposed works and development preserve The George in Rye Hotel, a Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rye Conservation Area (RCA)
What decided it
The colour scheme, supported by historical paint analysis evidence and applied to a building whose setting is visually contained within the street scene, preserves the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area.
