Maidstone, Extension to Conservation Area Boundaries
What is happening?
EXTENSIONS TO SUTTON VALENCE CONSERVATION AREA BOUNDARIES 15 November 2023
Description of proposal:
The extension will add approximately two hectares to the conservation area to the eastern side of the current conservation area. It is the area which it is believed was contained by the outer curtain wall of the castle with the addition of the two roads – Tumblers Hill and Baker Lane which have clearly been dug out and may have been quarries that provided the stone for the castle.
Reason:
There have been sufficient archaeological finds to suggest that this is an accurate assessment of the extent of the castle, and therefore the extension is to protect what may prove to be a very important area of archaeological interest.
