  • Boundary Commission for Wales
    BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND PROCEEDINGS AT THE 2018 REVIEW OF PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN ENGLAND HELD AT KENT COUNTY COUNCIL, MAIDSTONE, KENT, ME14 1XQ ON FRIDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2016 DAY TWO Before: Mr Colin Byrne, The Lead Assistant Commissioner ______________________________ Transcribed from audio by W B Gurney & Sons LLP 83 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0HW Telephone Number: 0203 585 4721/22 ______________________________ Time Noted: 9.00 am THE LEAD ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER: Thank you. Good morning again, welcome to Maidstone and to the second day of our hearing here in Maidstone. My name is Colin Byrne, I am the Assistant Commissioner chairing these hearings and also with two other commissioners responsible for reviewing all the responses to the Boundary Commission’s initial proposals and recommending any changes that might need to be made. The way it works is everything is recorded and videoed for the purpose of public record and they will be transcribed and put on the internet in due course so that people can comment in the second stage of the consultation process on what everybody has said in response to the initial proposals. When it is your slot you come up to the lectern, you say who you are and what address you are, that is for the public record, then you have ten minutes to make whatever representations you want. At the end of the ten minutes we may ask you for any points of clarification or, indeed, members of the audience if there were many of them, could ask you for points of clarification but it is not meant to be a debate, it is just meant if you said something that somebody does not understand then they can ask you to amplify it.

  • Capstone - Bredhurst Technical Report
    Green Cluster Studies Capstone - Bredhurst Technical Report March 2008 Executive Summary The Green Cluster studies set out an ambitious vision for the Green Grid public realm and provide an Action Plan to support its delivery across north Kent. Seven Green Cluster Studies have been undertaken to date, and a further Cluster Study is planned for the Isle of Sheppey. Each one focuses on areas of intensive regeneration and change where there are superb opportunities to create strategically sited new greenspaces which will raise expectations, add value to existing investment and create high quality green infrastructure for future development. The Cluster Studies have adopted a partnership approach to co-ordinate discussions amongst key stakeholders in each cluster. Many are engaged in developing ideas and drawing up plans for individual sites and the Cluster Studies' work- shops have provided a valuable opportunity to focus attention on the relationships between projects and the wider landscape setting. The Capstone Valley is by far the largest of Medway's distinctive dry chalk valleys and forms a 'green wedge' of countryside that extends from the Kent Downs right to the heart of the urban area. Great Lines City Park has a pivotal site in the heart of Medway - it is linked to Capstone Valley by landform and proximity and the two sites offer very different but complementary experiences; Great Lines is a formal metropolitan park while Capstone Valley provides a rural enclave. Capstone Farm Country Park is the focus of activity in the centre of the Capstone Valley. It has a familiar, domestic character, with visitor centre, fishing lake, woods and fields, but is surrounded by a more open arable land- scape set against a backdrop of steep, partially wooded valley slopes.
