The comments of Tenterden and District Residents Association (TDRA) are supportive of the concept to develop on the proposed site, however we don’t feel that current design is sympathetic to the existing context and high quality architectural heritage of the High Street.
The proposed building appears to sit awkwardly on the site, with bland detailing and minimal vernacular reference to its context. The arrangements for turning of delivery vehicles appear inadequate and likely to cause substantial disruption to traffic entering and leaving the adjacent car park as well as being a hazard to pedestrians.
