Yes, the policy should be broadened to include areas adjacent to or near Conservation Areas, not just those within them. Extending protection to these surrounding areas is crucial as they often contribute significantly to the character and setting of the Conservation Areas. Developments in these adjacent areas can still impact the historic and aesthetic value of Conservation Areas, especially if they alter the landscape or introduce incompatible changes. By including these nearby zones, Medway Council can better safeguard the overall heritage and visual integrity of Conservation Areas, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to conservation and mitigating negative impacts from development.
