    After little more than a one hour session on the subject yesterday KCC's planning applications committee decided to grant permission to demolish the existing school buildings and construct the replacement on the top playing field SUBJECT to Historic England determining that the existing school buildings are not of listable quality.The committee of ten councillors voted 8 in favour,1 against with 1 abstention.A determination by Historic England was said not to be expected until near Christmas or just afterwards.It is to be noted that none of the voting councillors represented Dover nor, evidently, had they themselves actually visited the school buildings and viewed them from near and afar.No photograph of the existing school appeared in the report itself and none of those displayed on a screen in the session chamber depicted the building from any good angle.One of the more choice comments was "It is time to pull a shroud over its face".And thus was the matter done in detachment in Maidstone.But there may be more to it yet.
