The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website.

  • Habitat Advisory Visit to the River Darent, Kent, Undertaken on Behalf of Kingfisher Angling and Preservation Society, by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd March 2005
    Habitat Advisory visit to the River Darent, Kent, undertaken on behalf of Kingfisher Angling and Preservation Society, by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd March 2005 Sponsored by: 1.0 Introduction This report forms the output of a site visit to the River Darent, near Eynsford, Kent on 31 March 2005 on behalf of Kingfisher Angling and Preservation Society (KAPS). Information in the report is based on observations on the day of the visit and additional comments provided by members of the club. This is the third advisory visit undertaken by the Wild Trout Trust (WTT) to the River Darent in this area, with visits previously made to the Park Farm Fishery and Darent Valley Trout Fishers water. Located between these fisheries, this visit to the KAPS fishery compliments management advice given in previous visits to these fisheries. Habitat in the River Darent has been severely compromised in the past by long periods of low flow, due in part to borehole abstraction for potable supply. However, negotiations with water undertakers in the Darent valley have secured a significant reduction in the volume of water abstracted, with an associated partial restoration of flows in the river. KAPS has a membership of approximately 110 members, with a mix of stillwater and river fisheries in Kent. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed, with right bank (RB) and left bank (LB) of the river identified when looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Description The KAPS fishery on the River Darent effectively begins at the outlet from their ex. gravel pit fishery at Lullingstone Castle. This is a now a lake of some 15-20ha, stocked with Rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.

  • Characteristics of Kentish Deer Parks
    To contents page PART I - CHAPTER TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF KENTISH DEER PARKS Having established which parks existed in Elizabethan and Jacobean Kent, attention will now turn to their distribution (i), density (ii), shape and size (iii), and longevity as active parks (iv). Gathering even basic information for these aspects has not been easy because there is no corpus of park-related material. Evidence has emerged haphazardly from a wide range of sources and tends to be fragmentary in nature, but despite these inadequacies, the characteristics of Kentish parks can be portrayed, if somewhat sketchily at times. Another obstacle has been the lack of countywide research into the Kentish parks before the Elizabethan period, which would have given a useful basis of comparison. Conversely, although research from other counties, such as Hertfordshire, Derbyshire, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire with Huntingdonshire, and Suffolk has been done, it offers little comparative material for the period from 1558 to 1625.1 Lambarde's lists have provided a starting point for the names of parks, and the five contemporary maps give a vivid visual representation of their distribution as perceived by Elizabethan and early Jacobean cartographers.
