Conservation Area - Chilham

Asset Name: CA-31

Designated Date: 11/07/1996

Description: The village comprises a compact and tightly knit settlement that occupies the roughly triangular shaped hillside formed at the junction of the A28 to Canterbury which forks southwards towards Ashford and the A 252 which extends westwards towards Charing and continues to Maidstone. The Chilham Conservation Area and the entire village settlement is situated within the Kent Downs AONB. The high quality of the surrounding landscape provides a special setting and in consequence new developments must be of a design that responds positively to this environment.
