    First Urgent Update Report Item 24 Church Farm, Ulcombe Hill, Ulcombe, Kent 17/503284 Pages 167-187 Additional representation/information submitted Ulcombe Parish Council Ulcombe Parish Council have submitted a Landscape and Visual Impact rebuttal produced by Harper Landscape Architecture (referred to as HLA). This consists of the following documents : Rebuttal dated October 2017 Executive Summary of Rebuttal dated October 2017 Appendix 1 – HAD and additional HLA Viewpoints Appendix 2 – Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment Methodology Appendix 3 – Table of LVIA Judgements Appendix 4 – Landscape Assessment of Kent October 2004 Appendix 5 – Maidstone Landscape Character Assessment 2012 Appendix 6 – Maidstone Borough Wide Local Plan 2017 Appendix 7 – Listed building designations Appendix 8 – Critique of DHA and Graham J Field drawings Appendix 9 – LI Photography Advice Note It is understood that these documents have been submitted to Members as lobbying material. Officer Response The submitted information has been considered by Officer’s and the Landscape Officer. In summary the information seeks to question the methodology used by DHA (the applicant’s agent) and draws differing conclusions regarding the impact of the proposed development. Firstly regarding the methodology, it should be acknowledged that the Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (GLVIA), 3rd Edition, 2013 is as the title suggests, guidelines and does not need to be strictly followed in producing a landscape and visual appraisal. It is considered by Officer’s that the document generally conforms with the guidelines and although lacking in information relating to the impact on the adjoining landscape area and not taking into consideration the Maidstone Landscape Capacity Study : Sensitivity Assessment.

  • The Painted Glass at East Sutton Church and the Arms of a Duke of York
    The PainTed Glass aT easT suTTon ChurCh and The arms of a duke of York marcus herbert This article discusses the heraldry of various shields in the stained glass of East Sutton Church dating from the fourteenth century to the seventeenth century. These include heraldry of the families of Valence, Hastings, St Leger, Mortimer of Wigmore, a Duke of York, Guildford, Halden, Argall, Scott and Filmer. The ownership of the manor of East Sutton from the early fourteenth to the seventeenth century is used to explain these shields, some of which at some time may have been transferred from the manor house to the church. The particular problem of the shield of a Duke of York is explained by the ownership of the manor of East Sutton being in the possession of the Darell family in the middle years of the ffteenth century. Their arms are not in the glass but both George (d.1474) and Richard (d.1489) Darell served the Yorkists and provide a convincing explanation of the presence of the arms of the Duke of York, probably Richard (d.1460). The parish of east sutton lies about seven miles south-east of maidstone. Together with the parishes of sutton Valence and Chart sutton it forms an area known locally as the Three suttons. The church is dedicated to st Peter and st Paul and was built using kentish ragstone. Construction phases from the thirteenth to early sixteenth centuries have been identifed. During an ill-considered restoration in 1897-8 the interior walls were entirely stripped of their plaster rendered fnish.

  • Watermills on the River Len
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society WATERIVIILLS ON THE RIVER LEN By ROBERT H. GOODSALL THE Len, the Little _River as Harris called it, which flows from a charming spring in Affers Wood, north of Platt's Heath and a mile and a quarter south-west of Lenham, joins the Medway at Maidstone, a distance of eight and a quarter miles as the crow flies and some ten miles by the winding of the stream. Together with its several diminutive tribu- taries, the Len supported more watermills for its length than any other Kent river except the Loose stream which had no less than thirteen mills along its three-miles course.1 For this there was a very good reason. Originally all were corn mills, but following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, when so many foreigners flocked into the county bringing with them their Mystery of Cloth working, many settled in the Weald, at Cranbrook and the adjacent villages, and for their work the Len was, to quote Furley,2 " . formerly of great service to the clothiers of the Weald, especially in dry seasons, as fullers' earth was found in Leeds . and its neighbourhood, where fulling mills were erected, and cloths were brought from different parts of the Weald to be thicked ' at these mills." Of the veins of fullers' earth occurring in the Maidstone area of the county, that at Boxley was the largest and most famous,8 but the Leeds quarry situated immediately south of the Len downstream from the bridge carrying the Leeds road, must always have been an important source of supply.
