A25 Brasted Village Footway and Village Gateway To: Sevenoaks District Council Joint Transportation Board By: Head of Transportation – Tim Read Classification: For Information Summary: This report is provided at the request of the Joint Transportation Board Chairman, Councillor James London. 1. Brasted Parish Council has requested that a new footway be provided on the southern side of the A25 western end of the village. In addition to this, improvements to the village gateway / entry point that combines with the change in speed limit terminal signs are also requested. It is unclear where the demand for the new footway has come from, or what the probable use may be. 2. The A25 at Brasted forms part of the important east/west route from Wrotham Heath towards Guildford. It takes in several historic villages in Sevenoaks such as Seal, Riverhead, Sundridge, Brasted and Westerham before leaving Kent for Surrey. The road experiences high levels of traffic particularly when there are delays and incidents on the nearby motorway network. The historic surroundings make for a busy and narrow “A” class road with some narrow sections of footway. 3. From a point just after Brasted Surgery the footway narrows significantly near Haynes Cottages. From this point there is no footway, although there is a short length of grass verge outside Hill Tree House, after this there is no footway on this side until Westerham. The north side of the A25 is provided with continuous footway for the majority of its length within Sevenoaks. 4. It is not possible, and there are no viable, affordable solutions to permit the provision of a new footway and the main reasons are listed below: • Buildings directly abutting the edge of the highway, • Steeply banked verges, • Land not under the control of the highway authority, • Mature trees and shrubs close to the edge of the highway, • Lack of secured funding. 5. Improvements to the village gateways and speed limit terminal signs could be considered within the narrow confines of the exiting highway if suitable funding can be secured. As the signage currently conforms to Department for Transport standards funding will not be prioritised for this location. Recommendation: Kent County Council Highways, Transportation & Waste request that the Board note and endorse this information report. Contact Officers; Julian Cook – District Manager for Sevenoaks 03000 41 81 81 Steven Noad – Traffic Engineer 03000 41 8 181 .

Sevenoaks District Council 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites 2019/20 to 2023/24 Addendum: September 2019
Sevenoaks District Council 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites 2019/20 to 2023/24 Addendum: September 2019 1.1 This addendum has been prepared to supplement the 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites [SDC008] submitted alongside the Local Plan in April 2019. 1.2 The 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites [SDC008] has been calculated against the local housing need of 707 units per year, in accordance with paragraph 73 of the NPPF. However, the housing requirement set out in the Local Plan is 9,410 units and this figure will replace the local housing need on adoption of the plan, in accordance with paragraph 73 of the NPPF. 1.3 This addendum therefore sets out the calculation of the 5 year supply against the Local Plan housing requirement of 588 units per year. All other aspects of the calculation (application of a 5% buffer, the number of deliverable sites, the qualifying elements of supply) remain as per document SDC008. 1.4 The calculation of the 5 year land supply requirement is set out in the table below. Component Calculation Result (units) A Annual local housing requirement N/A 588 B 5 year requirement A x 5 2,940 C 5% buffer 5% of B 147 D 5 year requirement plus 5% buffer B + C 3,087 1.5 This five year supply of deliverable housing sites assessment identifies a healthy supply of specific deliverable sites in Sevenoaks District that have the capacity to deliver 3,087 residential units in the next 5 years, and 9,410 residential units over the whole of the plan period.

Sundridge and Brasted C of E Primary School “An Outstanding Church School” SIAS inspection, 2011 A Message from The Headteacher Welcome to Sundridge and Brasted... …where small really is beautiful. We are a church school for around a hundred pupils aged from 4 to 11 years. We are proud of our focus on each individual, drawing the best out of each and every child no matter what their particular talents or abilities. Our warmth and the family atmosphere of the school are tangible and frequently commented upon by parents and visitors. ‘Small class sizes enable children to make excellent progress’ Following an excellent start to school life in Maple class, children move into Cedar at year 2. This very small setting with just 12 pupils, ensures that the core skills in Reading, Writing and Maths are completely secure before they move into the upper school. Throughout the school children are encouraged to achieve and expectations are high. We provide a rich, exciting and challenging curriculum. We plan frequent school trips and invite visitors into school, to inspire learning and bring our topics to life. ‘There are excellent relationships between teachers and pupils.’ Our dedicated team of outstanding staff work tirelessly to ensure that every child receives the education they deserve. Within our Christian setting, children are helped to develop a sense of responsibility and self-discipline, to show consideration for one another and to grow into confident, caring and articulate individuals. ‘I would love to meet you and personally show you around the school.’ We are proud of the education we offer here and would be delighted to share our school with you.
