Tracey Emin helps win fight to protect famous Margate tower block
Briefly

Tracey Emin, in her heartfelt plea, emphasized the importance of preserving Arlington House's integrity by stating that if it were in a major city, it would be recognized as a protected landmark.
The joint effort of local residents and preservation societies brought about a significant victory, as all members of the Thanet District Council unanimously rejected the proposal to alter the historic building's facade.
Freshwater maintained that the changes were minimal and would not impact the building's heritage, but local sentiments articulated by Emin reflect a deeper understanding of its cultural significance.
Residents described Arlington House's original design as embodying the spirit of the '60s, crafted thoughtfully to blend with its seaside environment while ensuring all apartments had ocean views.
