Ashford Local Plan 2030 Adopted February 2019 Foreword Planning Our Future Together This is an important and exciting time for Ashford. The borough is growing and thriving as new projects start to take shape on the ground. Like many places across the country, we will see significant development over the next decade. Between now and 2030 a significant number of homes are set to be built within this borough through this Plan. As well as additional housing, we’re confident this transformation will continue to bring more investment, employment and opportunities for local people - and help the borough to prosper. However, I am acutely aware of the role that the wonderful countryside and environment that we enjoy here plays in making the borough such an attractive location to live, work and enjoy. The protection of the borough’s rural character is fundamental to achieving our wider planning objectives. This new Local Plan will manage and direct the new growth up until 2030 in a way that will protect what makes the borough a special place, whilst encouraging and enabling the high quality new developments that we aspire to see come forward. Groundbreaking new policies on residential space standards including gardens, the provision of fibre connections to residential and employment premises and the protection of the borough’s Dark Skies illustrate the council’s desire to create the type of communities we can be proud of. New policies for the governance and management of local facilities will help to ensure those communities remain attractive in the years ahead. The Plan makes the urban town of Ashford and its surrounding areas the main focus of new development, building on the unique set of attributes and connections that make it the UK’s International Town. Meanwhile it protects the setting and character of our rural town of Tenterden and the surrounding villages while still enabling them to evolve in a natural and managed way. There will be a need to have sites that are outside of the villages and indeed outside of the urban area. The preparation of the Local Plan has been a long and detailed process, taking into account the preparation of a detailed evidence base, numerous stages of consultation and an Examination in Public chaired by two independent Government appointed Planning Inspectors, whose recommendations have been incorporated into the Plan. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the process and successful adoption of this Local Plan. We now believe we have a Local Plan that will meet our aspirations and deliver a bright and prosperous future for the borough.

Red clay tiled roofs and walls in brick, hung tile, painted weatherboard and painted brick and render should dominate.’ ATKINS - DESIGN, ENVIRONMENT & ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS (PLANNING, LANDSCAPE & HERITAGE DEPT.) 2002 This Design Statement has been formally adopted by Ashford Borough Council as Supplementary Planning Guidance. The document expresses many views held by local people involved in its preparation. In adopting the Design Statement the Council is not necessarily supporting all of these opinions but is undertaking to take into account the ‘design guidelines’ included in the text when making planning decisions. The Council does not have sufficient powers as planning authority to require these ‘design guidelines’ to be met in all cases - the active support and commitment of developers, landowners and householders is also essential. The points noted under ‘Local Views’ reflect the views of local residents expressed during the preparation of this document, and have not been adopted by Ashford Borough Council. ©2003 The Biddenden Parish Design Statement Group No part of this document may be reproduced for any purpose without the express written permission of the Biddenden Parish Design Statement Group BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT INTRODUCTION In common with many other parishes and villages around the country, the residents of Biddenden greatly value the community in which we live and wish to protect its character and way of life.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers

    Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers

    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

    Covid Breaches Linnet Drive Finberry Catapults

    Hello, FEBRUARY REPORT for Washford Farm, Park Farm North, Park Farm South, Kingsnorth, Roman Ward Bridgefield, Mersham, Sevington South and Finberry. In my role as a PCSO I am either on foot or in a Police vehicle, engaging with the community and visiting those who need my help, assistance and reassurance. Well this month has been extremely cold with all the snow that arrived. We are still in lockdown and please remember only to go out for essentials. The weather conditions can mean an increase in road traffic accidents. If you are out and about on foot go carefully as we don’t want any injuries or broken bones. So please stay indoors and stay safe, spring is not far away now. Covid Breaches Police are still getting plenty of reports of people breaking Covid regulations and each report is being dealt with by Officers. This includes small businesses trying to open, as well as gyms and hairdressers. We are giving out more and more Fixed Penalty Notices for anyone not sticking to the Covid regulations. This lockdown is hard on each one of us and we are all being affected in different ways. The more people who keep breaking these regulations and spreading Covid, the longer it is going to take to get out of lockdown. Linnet Drive Finberry There has been an attempted breaking in through the front door in Linnet Drive. No entry was made thankfully, but please stay vigilant and make sure your properties are as secure as you can make them. This includes ensuring you always keep front and back doors locked.
