Period Houses on Middle Street, Deal.
The architectural and historic importance of the Middle Street Deal Conservation Area has long been recognised. In 1968 it was the first Conservation Area in Kent to be designated and since that time the boundary has been extended three times. Its distinctive character is typified by the central axis of mainly Georgian terraced houses clustered around Middle Street, changing as you move towards Deal Castle, to grander Victorian villas. If the special character of the town is to be preserved then it is important that buildings are repaired using traditional materials, Inappropriate repairs and alterations not only spoil the appearance of the area but can also devalue a property. If you are the owner or tenant of a commercial property, or if you own or live in a flat you will already need planning permission for most external alterations. Similar controls now apply to dwelling houses and mean that extra care will need to be taken so that alterations do not unintentionally spoil the appearance of the street. The new controls are known as an Article 4(2) Direction and cover the whole of the Middle Street Conservation Area, the boundary of which is shown on the map.
