Listed pub at No 90 is in good condition Church although plastic signage detracts, where hand painted would enhance. There are several buildings of local interest on Manor Road which should be considered for local listing;Nos 107/109, a pair of timber framed cottages with casement windows; No.78, attractive early nineteenth century building; No. 74 early village residence with clay tile roof, chimney stacks, a rendered and stuccoed façade, perhaps with timber framing behind; No.111, a three-storied building with eighteenth century alterations, gothic gauged brick arch, shutters, hooded arches. For houses with front gardens most original boundaries no longer exist, although one cottage has a picket fence. 2 – Roundabout Corner Manor Road and Rectory Road – signboard in church yard detracts from the where London setting of the Listed Building and the War Memorial. Boundaries of car park to social Road, Manor Road centre would greatly benefit from tree planting – the bland space creates an imbalance and Rectory Road with the rich church setting on the adjacent corner. meet Roundabout needs public realm improvement to signage and lighting which detract from the special interest of the Conservation Area. Original post box should be preserved. Corner where London Road sits on the roundabout: Listed Building with attractive garden which hides house – high boundary walls at various repairs and adaptations - street signs attached directly to the wall. The building at the corner of London Road and Manor Road is in total disrepair and should be added to the Buildings at Risk register. With a rusting corrugated roof (originally a thatched) and neglected facades partly obstructed by large road signage blighting the building – a poor feature on a main entrance to the town. Building adjacent on London Road, No 98 with uPVC windows, replacement doors and painted plinth. Street surface irregular. The small green on London Road next to the bus shelter looks forlorn and would benefit from landscaping to enhance the Conservation Area. 3 – London Road, No 311 London Road which houses a commercial property Londis, has been greatly Rectory altered, especially with regard to window frames as have the other buildings on this Road/Addelam stretch of road. Street clutter in front exacerbates the untidy feel to the area. No 301 Road retains an attractive shop front and has tasteful fascia and lettering - making a positive contribution to the Conservation Area. The Listed Building Nos 283 – 285 on London Road is not visible on Google Street View. There is a considerable contrast between the Listed Buildings and the stretch of buildings adjacent to No311 Londis. There are four terraced cottages on Upper Deal street that have lost many of their original features. The stretch of London Road that continues where it joins Upper Deal Road is not visible on Google Street View and may have more buildings of historic or architectural interest. On Rectory Road there is an attractive Georgian house at the end of the road and four Victorian cottages. Half the cottages have replacement windows. There are several new builds on Pilot’s Avenue with only one building of note, No 87 on the corner of Manor Road which appears to have been altered. There is a large impressive Georgian house at the corner of Addelam Road and Pilot’s Avenue but it has replacement windows. Late Georgian and Victorian character. Loss of windows and boundaries detracts Overall from the Conservation Area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eal – Upper Deal Conservation Area Produced by the KCC Heritage Conservation Group This map is based upon Ordnance Survey material with the permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office (C) Crown Copyright.

Interesting oriel windows. Impressive Victorian villa with original chimney, original shopfront and other more modest Victorian buildings. Altered buildings with uPVC windows. Shop fronts detract from Conservation Area, design and signage in need of enhancement. Some metal railings on new walls and plane wall boundaries. Occasional recent dormer windows. Art deco garage/shop used as part of garage – consider local list? Upper part of Queen Street has some plane walls to gardens. Queen Street further north has two attractive shops and a pub all would benefit from general maintenance and decoration as would the building in the island between the two forks of Queen Street. Street signs on this cross roads are attached to the railings and are relatively discreet. 2 – Blenheim Road At one end a series of listed Georgian buildings late eighteenth century, early nineteenth century – half hipped roofs. Opposite is a Kwik Fit garage. One bow- windowed shop front. Last two houses on Blenheim road which form the boundary to the conservation area – Nos 15 and 19 are impressive large Victorian houses in good condition. Limited Google Street View for part of Blenheim Road. Corner Wellington Road Blenheim Road – attractive garden and Edwardian house with attractive tile hanging on gable end. The Catholic Church of St Thomas of Canterbury is a good example of the benefits of greening the streetscape – the left hand side of the church has a small grassed over garden area with hedges, ant the right hand side is a concreted over space with an undefined parking that does not delineate the boundaries of the church and street. Relatively narrow street characterised by two storey Edwardian terraced houses, Victorian cottages and Victorian terraced house, newer builds some with shallow concreted over gardens, some hardstandings and variety of gardens of different depths. Boundaries in various states both older and newer as are windows. Pavements are narrow with tarmac. Attractive garden on the corner Beaconsfield Road/Blenheim road which enhances the streetscape and is further enhanced by a tree. 3 – Victoria Road Larger two, three and four storey often handsome villas with large front gardens opposite parade of shops especially including detached, semi detached and terraced earlier and mid Victorian villas. Lined with mature trees. Western side of Victoria Road earlier than Eastern Side of the road which is in the Middle Street Conservation Area. Building line is set back from the castle and tapers in to the street towards the north. Generally the buildings are grouped in small clusters of two or three properties with varying architectural styles from Georgian through to Victorian villas. The Listed Buildings, are of a grander Georgian town house style with an imposing frontage to the street. Generous gardens with considerable amount of greening which enhances the special interest of the Conservation Area. Introduction of Upvc windows to some buildings detracts from Conservation Area. Further forecourt parking will detract from setting of Conservation Area. 4 – Hope Road South side part gardens and car parking for houses on Gilford Road, most gardens no longer have boundaries and are uncared for with no boundary )LJXUH $VVHVVPHQW RI &RQVHUYDWLRQ $UHD between the pavement and the gardens. Only one boundary and garden space survives as a garden. Enhancement needed. The northern side of the road is characterised by shallow gardens many of which retain their original walls which gives a cohesive feel to the terrace as do the largely unpainted upper stories which retain redbrick surrounds. Further painting on the upper floors should be avoided. Would benefit from greening, introduction of original windows and doors. The long gardens mainly now hard standings and used as off street parking. 5 – Old Cottage Road No visual access for study from Google Street View. 6 – Guilford Road Two storey nineteenth and twentieth century buildings. On North side of the road houses with shallow concreted/paved forecourts, double height bay windows with bargeboards and dormer windows – many replacement windows, satellite dishes. On the south side no gardens but Victorian terrace characterised by hanging bay/oriel windows. 7 – Wellington Road North side Corner Wellington Road and Victoria street. Upper floor pebble dashed with interesting windows (part of Middle Street Conservation Area). Two storey yellow brick Victorian cottages with forecourts. Buildings have differing doors, windows and frontages but retain a unified feel as boundaries defined by low walls or hedges. Pre 1862 villa with prominent cornice next to No 9 could be locally listed? Final stretch of north side of street before Wellington Place characterised by mid Victorian semi detached houses with dormer windows and bay windows on ground floor with basements. South side Hardstanding would benefit from greening. Then 1960s or 1970s three storey block. Main stretch of road characterised by early Victorian cottages with no front gardens several with original windows. Two large redbrick late Victorian/Edwardian houses the second of which is ‘Arts and Crafts’ inspired where Wellington Road joins Blenheim Road. 8 – Beaconsfield Road Going west along the south side of Beaconsfield Road the first building is a well maintained early Victorian cottage followed by some more recent construction with many replacement windows, and a row of early Victorian cottages begins with late modified Victorian terraces with bay windows. Going west along the north side of Beaconsfield Road a Victorian cottage on the corner, and a late Victorian terrace, single bay and then double bay windows and roofs with gable -XQH &RXQFLO 'LVWULFW 'RYHU ends and bargeboards, forecourt parking, a garage, and garden and rear of 6WUDWHJ\ +HULWDJH 'LVWULFW 'RYHU building facing Blenheim Road. 9 – Northcote Road Long view only available in Google Street View. Late Victorian terrace with double bay windows. Unattractive car park and garage area on corner with Beaconsfield Road. Late Georgian and Victorian character.

Majority of buildings and adjacent roads appear well maintained eg Contraband Cottage. Good retention of original and High Street windows (article 4 (2) Directive and Listed Buildings support and reflect between Alfred good management of the Conservation Area). Square and Union Road At the southern end there are some unattractive shopfronts/signs at beginning of street, plastic drainpipes, boarded up ground storey windows, all contribute to loss of special interest. This stretch of High Street is generally well maintained. The shopfronts are more traditional in design respecting and using the features of the original shopfronts. Machine Mart on the corner of Griffin Street is a notable exception – the Victorian building having been lost, poor design principles adopted in the new building. The fascia for Deal Kebabs is an example of poor design and is noticeable in this stretch of attractive shopfronts. Some general maintenance needed to upper floors. 2 – Beach Street/The Mainly well preserved seafront facades with only occasional building in need Marina of maintenance. Entrance to row of houses on corner of The Marina and Exchange street could be improved – boundary walls. Public Realm tidy with potential for enhancement. Family Amusements has an oversized fascia around the corner of the building. 3 – Deal Castle and Streets that flank the Castle have a mix of period buildings, 1980s buildings four blocks to the (poor in scale and design) and open space. Buildings vary in architectural north quality. The sign opposite the castle is unattractive – this could be improved. The streets in the four blocks to the north are mainly Victorian with some Georgian – mainly in good condition. Includes the attractive Victoria Baptist Church on the corner of Victoria Road/Stanley Road. 4 – Green space The open space serves as a visual buffer against the surrounding development around Deal Castle and allows medium-distance views for appreciation of the historic characteristics, setting and aesthetic qualities of the castle. As such it should remain an open space and the lawns continue to be maintained in order to reinforce the imposing presence of the fortress in a green space which would have been its original setting. The area immediately around the castle affects the setting and cutting back trees and over grown hedges would enhance setting of castle and its presentation to visitors to the seafront. 5 – South Street and The shop fronts would benefit from enhancement, adopting the shop front )LJXUH $VVHVVPHQW RI &RQVHUYDWLRQ $UHD Victoria Street design guidance. Encourage sensitive design where original details and (down to crossing original features are exposed and can be reinstated – requires research of old with Stanley Road) photographs to find early/original shop fronts. Where South street widens Shopping Area public realm improvements could be made including landscape enhancement. 6 – High Street St. The High Street from Park street on the west northbound is visible on Street where joins Union view. The stretch southwards is not visible. The High Street has a mix of Road in the North more recent buildings, original shopfronts and modern shopfronts. Modern and Water Street shop fronts taking up a number of original smaller ones break the balance of on the South with scale and detract from the Conservation Area. Examples are The original adjacent streets to Factory Shop and Savers. the West Shopfronts could be significantly improved with the assistance of the advice found in the Shop Front Design Guide. Many windows on period buildings are uPVC. Stanhope street south side Victorian terrace with listed Sorting Office on North side. Park Street mix of Victorian/modern with attractive cottages on North side in a mix of conditions: some in need of repair, some with uPVC windows, and some loss of original. Queen Street – poorly presented shopping street with a mix of period and modern buildings and shopfront treatments, which detract from the Conservation Area. Extent It is unclear why the northern part of Marine Road is not included in the Conservation Area. It would provide a buffer to the castle and include an attractive building (although now with poor replacement windows) which would contribute positively to the Conservation Area. There are two unattractive buildings flanking 4 Marine Road but would be included in the Conservation Area if extended. On the west side of the Strand where it joins Galdstone Road, it is unclear why only half of one of a stretch of three attractive buildings have not been included. Conservation Area requires review of boundary and consideration of extending to include Nos 72 to 74. -XQH &RXQFLO 'LVWULFW 'RYHU RH LWLW+UWJ 6WUDWHJ\ +HULWDJH 'LVWULFW 'RYHU Kent’s first Conservation Area designation.
