There are echoes of West Malling, Tenterden and other Kentish market towns and the outside spaces, narrow alley ways leading to open squares, create changing vistas. A limited palette of traditional and modern materials, including Kentish bricks, zinc, coloured render and weatherboarding brings cohesion. Sensitive landscaping around mature trees, the attention to rear elevations, and the control of shop fronts and signage, are also vital elements.
