Its principal role is to identify new sites for development outside 2 the Ashford Growth Area, but it will also include several topic-based planning policies that cover specific rural planning issues. ork w 2.2 The DPD is now at an ‘Issues and Options’ stage. This initial stage is designed to highlight the main planning policy issues that are facing the rural parts of the Borough and outline what the main options are for addressing those issues. It represents an early opportunity for you to let the Council know your opinions and to help influence the content of the DPD as it takes shape. These issues are referred to in Section 2 of this Report. 2.3 The Council has already, as part of this Issues and Options stage, undertaken some velopment Frame preliminary background work and initial consultation exercises. 2.4 In July 2007, landowners/stakeholders were invited, by advertisement, to submit sites that they felt were suitable for development in the rural area. This information allowed the Council to gauge an initial understanding as to the location and current availability of any rural land being promoted. 2.5 In addition to the site submission exercise, the Council has also been involved in a series ough Council Local De of Rural Community Workshops in Tenterden and the villages that are mentioned in policy CS6 d Bor of the Councils Submitted Core Strategy, as these are the places where the Council has decided or it should look first for suitable development sites. Ashf t 2.6 The workshops gave the opportunity for an invited cross section of the local community to discuss the issues facing their settlement and the options for development in that location. All of the outcomes from the different workshops have been incorporated in this Issues and Options Report in section 1 and there is an opportunity for you to comment on these outcomes and on some specific questions that arise from them. 2.7 In publishing this Report, we must stress that the Council has made no decisions in respect of any of the potential sites or topic-related options referred to in this report. The views expressed in the village workshops are those of the local residents and stakeholders who participated in those events – you may or may not agree with their conclusions or you may have other suggestions that you would like to put forward, but whichever way you feel, we would like to hear from you. velopment Plan Document - Issues and Options Repor den and Rural Sites De enter T 6 Rural Community Workshops 3 Rural Community Workshops 3.1 The workshops were undertaken in all thirteen settlements mentioned in policy CS6 of the 3 Core Strategy. Each workshop was attended by members of Ashford Borough Council’s planning policy team and by an Independent facilitator. This facilitator’s role was to ensure that everyone Ashf had the opportunity to air their views and the event was properly managed. Also in attendance or were members of the community, invited by the Parish / Town Council, as well as representatives d Bor of the Parish / Town Council itself. The numbers of participants attending each workshop varied but in general, ranged from 15 – 25. The feedback from the participants of the workshops was ough Council Local De on the whole, very positive. 3.2 However, the outcomes of the workshop can only reflect the feelings of those people who attended the workshop and you may not agree with some or all of their views. This section of the report will give you an opportunity to comment on any issue or view raised through the workshop process. 3.3 Given this, it is important to set the same context for discussion that was set at the start of velopment Frame each workshop. The role of the workshops 3.4 The main role of the workshop was to get an initial understanding from a cross-section of the local community as to, broadly, which areas of the settlement could potentially be acceptable w for future development. ork T 3.5 Some participants at some of the workshops were of the opinion that there should not be enter any new residential sites allocated in their settlement. When this occurred, this view was noted den and Rural Sites De and has been reflected in the workshop summaries. However, it was agreed by all participants that, for the purposes of the workshop, there was an assumption that some new development may have to located at their settlement, and therefore discussions would focus on where this development could be located, should it be required. 3.6 The discussion covered the whole area of the settlement and was not limited to just those sites put forward by landowners or developers promoting land for development in the rural area (as a result, a number of additional areas of land were put forward for consideration during the course of some of the workshops). In addition, you may be of the opinion that just part, and not velopment Plan Document - Issues and Options Repor all, of any promoted ‘site’ would be potentially suitable for development. 3.7 In most cases, sites that are large enough to potentially accommodate at least 5 dwellings were considered at the workshops as this is likely to be the threshold, above which the Council would potentially ‘allocate’ a site in the DPD. Sites below that threshold have traditionally been regarded as ‘minor’ development or ‘infilling’ and have not been specifically ’allocated’ for development in a Local Plan. Policy CS6 - Core Strategy DPD 3.8 Policy CS6 in the LDF Core Strategy identifies a number of different settlements that are considered suitable to have allocated development attributed to them in the Tenterden and Rural Sites DPD. These settlements are structured in a three-tier hierarchy. Policy CS6 of the Submitted Core Strategy can be seen at Appendix 2. t Rural Community Workshops 7 3.9 Tenterden is at the top of the hierarchy, as it clearly represents the largest and most established settlement in the Borough outside of Ashford. The second-tier contains Charing, Hamstreet, and Wye. Again these settlements are well established, identified in the existing Local Plan as the most sustainable rural settlements and play an important role as a local service centre 3 in their part of the Borough. All the settlements in the top 2 tiers of the hierarchy are expected to accommodate some allocated residential development through the Tenterden and Rural Sites ork DPD. w 3.10 The third tier is made up of 9 settlements and it is expected that the quantum of residential development identified in policy CS6 will be provided on sites within those 9 settlements.Therefore, this means that each settlement will not necessarily have an equal amount of development on allocated sites and it may potentially be the case that some of these settlements may not actually end up have allocated development attributed to them, if for example, if no suitable site is identified or more suitable sites can be found in another third-tier settlement. velopment Frame 3.11 The LDF Core Strategy has been examined over recent months by an independent planning inspector to determine its ‘soundness’.

This month's cover: ‘Meeting Point’ by Judy Vinson View from the Layne here’s a lot being talked about right now around the new normal and how we can preserve some of the good things that have happened during lockdown. There is T no automatic return to the old normal. Change is in the air. In church we pray for a very specific change very regularly when we pray: Thy kingdom come. The second line from the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer that echoes in the back of many minds. For Christians the prayer is part of every formal act of worship. The first thing we ask: Your kingdom, dear God on earth: but what, exactly are we asking for? The next line gives us a big clue: ‘as it is in heaven’.

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.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    The Landscape Assessment of Kent October 2004 Prepared for Kent County Council by Jacobs Babtie Kent County Council Invicta House County Hall Maidstone Kent ME14 1XX Tel: 01622 221537 Jacobs Babtie Miller House Lower Stone Street Maidstone Kent ME15 6GB Tel: 01622 666000 Produced with the financial support of the European Regional Development Fund Front cover photograph courtesy of Jason Mitchell EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kentish landscape has evolved over many hundreds of years. It has been created by the interaction of the natural environment and human activities, in particular the combination of physical, biological and cultural influences. Physical influences such as geology and landform, together with the overlying pattern of settlement and land use are key determinants of landscape character. The Landscape Assessment of Kent is a landscape character based study that draws together existing landscape character assessments of the county and updates them to conform to the current guidance. Additional work on the condition and sensitivity of the Kent landscape has been used to formulate character-based strategies to ensure the continued distinctiveness of the Kent landscape. It is intended that the Landscape Assessment of Kent will be used in a variety of forward planning strategies, in land management schemes and in planning control. The objective is to ensure that decisions on the rural landscape are underpinned by a robust and widely accepted assessment of the landscape character. The challenge is to find ways of identifying the important characteristics of the landscape that assist the process of accommodating change, where this is both desirable and practicable, whilst maintaining the links with the past and the natural environment.
