The town includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, substantial interwar semis in the surrounding suburbs, and more recent estate housing on the town's edges, alongside period cottages in the outlying villages.
Planning considerations
Maidstone Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre and several village centres in the borough are conservation areas, and some areas are at risk of flooding from the River Medway, which can affect ground floor extension and conversion design.

Do I need a balustrade on my deck?

Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
