This should be renamed Maze Hill and Historic St Leonards. The understanding of the Regency New Town is diminished if 'Burtons' St Leonards' is used to label an excessively wide area.
In the east, the area should be extended beyond the SOA boundary that divides the natural community referred to above [para 1.8]. The south side of North Street was largely constructed by 1837/8 [including at least 5 America Ground houses] and may be considered part of the first development of the town. Residents consider Alfred and Union Streets to form a unity with North and Shepherd Streets

Suggested rewrite:
'This area, centred on Burtons' St Leonards, extends from Marine Court on the seafront to Markwick Terrace and its surrounding roads; and from London Road in the east to the edge of West Marina Gardens.
'Most of it has conservation area status, and it is characterised by substantial Regency, Victorian and Edwardian properties often set in large gardens, and by well-proportioned terraces. Markwick Gardens and St Leonards Gardens along with the wide roads in the northern part of the area maintain a feeling of spaciousness, which contrast with the narrow roads of the picturesquely designed townscape further south
