Core Strategy Dartford Core Strategy Adopted September 2011 Part of Dartford’s Local Development Framework FOREWORD This Core Strategy is a significant document for everyone who lives and works in the Borough. Whilst no one could ever claim that it makes light reading what it contains and what it may mean for the future of our community is hugely important. It sets out the approach that a number of partners - particularly those involved in community planning and development control - will take to the challenges ahead. It looks at this community’s future needs in areas like housing, transport, leisure, growth and jobs. It seeks to provide a ‘routemap’ to ensure that the future Dartford we get is the future Dartford we want. The strategy is not a fixed blueprint. ver time it will flex, change and adapt to different circumstances but the core principles will be the ones that drive our decision-making and policies for the years ahead. Please don’t think that this strategy is all about development and building things. It’s not. Some of its most important proposals relate to things we won’t permit - like overdevelopment, excessive burdens on our transport network, poor design and badly thought-out architecture. It rightly places huge importance on public spaces, the dignity of housing that we demand and the need to provide social infrastructure - things like village halls, playgrounds, parks, open spaces and even cemeteries. It also encapsulates my own personal view that a place like Dartford - a rich mix of rural villages and urban centres - should only grow and change at a rate that’s supported by local people. Dartford is your town and its growth, future and character are in your hands.

It has been prepared in accordance with national planning policy guidance. 1.3 The contents of this document are as follows: • Chapte 1 - provides a portrait of the Borough as it is today and identifies the issues and challenges which the Borough will face. A Vision and bjectives for the Borough are identified. • Chapte 2 - sets out where development will take place and what form it will take. • Chapte 3 - identifies how the individual components of development in the Borough will be brought together through overarching policies to ensure that development can be effectively managed. • Chapte 4 - sets out policies to ensure a good quality of life for Borough residents. • Chapte 5 - provides policies to ensure that development in the Borough is environmentally sustainable. • Chapte 6 - sets out how the plan will be delivered and implemented. 1.4 The Core Strategy, along with other Local Development Framework documents, will eventually replace our current Local Plan (1995). These will form the statutory ‘development plan’ for Dartford, the basis for planning decisions in the Borough. Ou othe Local Development F amewo k documents 1.5 Dartford’s Local Development Framework will contain a number of documents which will help to achieve the vision and objectives set out in this Core Strategy. These are: • Development Management Policies – which will support the Core Strategy by setting out additional planning policies that the Council will use when making decisions on applications for planning permission. It goes into more detail on a number of the issues covered in the Core Strategy. • Supplementa y Planning Documents (SPD) – these will give detailed guidance on how the Council’s planning strategy and policies will be implemented for specific topics, areas or sites. Although they will not form part of the statutory development plan for Dartford, and will therefore not have the same weight in decision making, they will be important considerations in the Council’s planning decisions. 6 How we have p epa ed the Co e St ategy 1.6 The main stages in the preparation of the Core Strategy have been as follows: • gathering background information and consulting on key issues and options for the future of Dartford; • developing the Council’s Core Strategy p efe ed app oach and consulting on it through two consultations; • Separate consultations on Dartford Town Centre and Northern Gateway • preparing and publishing the final Core Strategy (‘P e Submission’) • submitting the Core Strategy to the government (‘Submission’) for a public examination where the document is assessed by a Planning Inspector; • publication of the Inspecto ’s epo t; • adoption of the Core Strategy by the Council. 1.7 The Core Strategy has been developed taking into account many sources of information and the results of consultation exercises, in particular: • responses to consultation as referred to above; • the supporting evidence and information we have collected and commissioned; • Dartford’s Community Strategy and other relevant plans and strategies; • the policies and plans of the government; • a sustainability appraisal of the Core Strategy. Da tfo d’s Community St ategy and othe st ategies 1.8 As noted above, the Core Strategy needs to take into account other plans and strategies that influence the borough. It contributes to achieving the vision in Dartford’s Community Strategy and other relevant strategies of the Council and its main partners such as Kent County Council. The Core Strategy aims to translate the vision into a set of priorities and policies to shape the sort of place we want Dartford to be in the future and create a framework for delivery. National Planning Policy, Thames Gateway and Regional Context 1.9 ur planning documents must be consistent with national policy prepared by government in Planning Policy Statements and Guidance (PPS /PPG), unless we have strong evidence that an alternative approach is more appropriate to Dartford. ur assessment1 shows that there is compliance with national requirements. Where this is not the case, it has been justified by local circumstances. 1.10 Many of the policies and proposals in the Core Strategy are not new. The Plan builds on and updates earlier national guidance relating to the Thames Gateway2 to 1 Conformity with National and ther Higher Level Requirements, Dartford Borough Council, February 2011 2 RPG9a: the Thames Gateway Planning Framework, DoE, 1995 and Thames Gateway Delivery Plan, DCLG, 2007 7 develop a local vision for the future of Dartford which will deliver benefits for existing communities in the area. The Core Strategy is consistent with the principles first set out in RPG9a in terms of: • Making the most of the Thames Gateway opportunity • Creating a vibrant and sustainable pattern of communities • Closely relating transport opportunity with land use opportunity • Bringing life to the river and river-front; and • A new environmental standard 1.11 Many of the opportunities for development identified in RPG9a have been either completed, commenced or have planning permission. The long-term nature of the strategy has, therefore, had a strong influence on the nature of this Plan. 1.12 Legislation3 current at the time of preparation and Submission of the Core Strategy requires that the document must be prepared in the context of the Regional Strategy for the area.

At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

  • Appendix 7.1 Policy
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.1 Policy INTRODUCTION This appendix outlines key policies relating to the London Resort at the national, regional and local planning authority (LPA) levels, in relation to socio-economics. The policies of the following key stakeholders have been reviewed and presented in this appendix: local authorities within the core study area (CSA), namely Dartford, Gravesham and Thurrock, local enterprise partnerships (LEPs), regional bodies including the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP), the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) and Kent County Council (KCC), and government departments. This appendix aims to act as a more detailed review of the polices that are referenced in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio- economics, with a focus on the key themes of relevance to socio-economics. POLICY SUMMARIES This section summarises the policy priorities and requirements across all stakeholders, grouped by key topic area. The key purpose of this section is to provide a link to where each policy theme is addressed in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio-economics. Economic growth The NPPF chapter 6 focuses on growing a strong, competitive economy. At the sub- regional levels, both the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP) and the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) note productivity issues in their economies (as is the case at the national level) and establish policies focusing on improving their productivity. In fact, the TGKP identifies the Swanscombe Peninsula area as a key employment location in which they would like to attract and retain investment. At the Core Study Area (CSA) level, Dartford’s Core Strategy states that key growth sectors include the creative industries, hospitality, leisure, built environment and construction.

  • Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1
    Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Reading Matthew G. Fittock December 2017 Declaration I certify that this is my own work and that use of material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged in the text. I have read the University’s definition of plagiarism and the department’s advice on good academic practice. I understand that the consequence of committing plagiarism, if proven and in the absence of mitigating circumstances, may include failure in the Year or Part or removal from the membership of the University. I also certify that neither this piece of work, nor any part of it, has been submitted in connection with another assessment. Signature: Date: i Abstract As small portable forms of statuary, pipeclay objects provide a valuable insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the culturally mixed populations of the Roman provinces. This thesis provides a complete catalogue of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects found in Britain, including figurines, busts, shrines, animal vessels and masks. This research is the first study of this material conducted since the late 1970s. Pipeclay objects were made in Gaul and the Rhine-Moselle region but not in Britain. Attention thus focuses on where and how the British finds were made by analysing their styles, types, fabrics and any makers’ marks. This reveals how the pipeclay market in Britain was supplied and how these objects were traded, and suggests that cultural rather than production and trade factors were more influential on pipeclay consumption in Britain.

Air Quality in Dartford Borough Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. The main source of air pollution in the borough is road traffic emissions from major roads, notably the M25, A282, A2, A226, A296 and A206. Dartford suffers from significant congestion, especially on the A282 Dartford Tunnel Approach Road, A2 Bean Interchange for Bluewater and main approach roads into Dartford town centre.

  • Dartford Borough Council Council Size Submission
    Dartford Borough Council Council Size Submission EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An electoral review of Dartford Borough Council has been triggered by the Local Government Boundary Commission as 41% of the Council’s current wards have an electoral variance of more than 10% from the average. Whilst the initial stage of the review is limited to determining the number of elected members required to deliver effective and convenient local government to this community (Council Size), the Council’s Leadership committed itself at an early stage to take the opportunity of the review to embed wider and positive change of its own. Like all Councils, Dartford has adopted patterns of working practice over the years that have not, in themselves, always required changes to committee structures or a public reassertion of the culture of the Council and the positive way it does business. The clear focus of the review, and the deadlines which drive it, are seen as a great opportunity to ‘reset’ the Council and prepare it for the huge challenges of providing community leadership to a Borough experiencing unprecedented growth and change. To that end, the Leader established a fully‐cross‐party Working Group bringing together senior Members of not only the leading Conservative Group (of which there are 34 Members) and Labour opposition (7 Members) but the Council’s minority Independent group (3 Members) too. Usual proportionality was abandoned so that each group had equal representation in order to fuel open and frank conversation. The Working Group’s conversations were as interesting as they were productive. At the heart was a clear desire to rebalance the role of Members as truly empowered community advocates and ambassadors with the traditional committee roles at the Civic Centre.
