Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve a Grade II listed building, and any special features of architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the character or appearance of the Maidstone Centre Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Maidstone Centre Conservation Area, with no substantive evidence demonstrating that less intrusive alternative security measures would not work at this specific location.
