Printed on recycled paper Environment Agency Kent Ai XX) Floods Review FOREWORD The dramatic events experienced last winter have deeply affected all those involved. The extent of the flooding and speculation regarding climate change have devastated the confidence of those living in flood risk areas, the effects of which will be felt long after the physical damage has been repaired. We must now work together to face up to the challenge of managing the risk of flooding. To ensure that the Environment Agency delivers the best possible service to our customers, it is essential that we continually review our performance to identify any areas for improvement. This report has been produced to provide an accurate and clear understanding of the events that occurred during the Autumn floods in the Kent Area. Throughout the report issues are raised and recommendations have been made. From the list of recommendations an Action Plan will be produced in order to address the recommendations proposed. The Action Plan will include a detailed programme for introducing the improvements. We expect to produce the Action Plan by August 2001. In the meantime, much is being done to repair the defences damaged over the Autumn and Winter period and to increase the number of people who receive warnings directly from ourselves. Copies of this review are being circulated to interested groups including Local Authorities, Emergency Services, Local MPs and members of the public on request. If you would like further information relating to content of this review, we would welcome your written comments at the address below.

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. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • A3 Hadlow Hill 10 P1&2 Cover Pmd.Pmd
    HADLOW CONSERVATION AREAS Introduction The objective of the Hadlow Conservation Areas Appraisal is to analyse and record the special character of the Conservation Areas. The Hadlow High Street Conservation Area was originally designated in 1972. Following an assessment of the conservation area boundary, the Borough Council proposes to update it to include new areas and exclude others. Aseparate Conservation Area at The Freehold is also proposed. The appraisal covers the areas within the revised High Street Conservation Area boundary, together with the proposed additional Conservation Area, and provides further details to assist with the interpretation and use of planning policies. It will help guide the Council in making planning decisions on planning applications and to this end will be adopted for development control purposes. It is intended that this appraisal will inform and influence the activities of the Council and other bodies (e.g. Kent County Council and other statutory agencies), where these impact on the Conservation Areas. It will also assist in the identification of any APPRAISAL programmes of action that are considered appropriate by these bodies, subject, of course, to financial limitations and other priorities they may have. Importantly, it is hoped that the appraisal will prove to be of help to residents, businesses and landowners. For anyone proposing new development or changes within the Conservation Areas, the appraisal should be read in conjunction with the Borough Council’s Conservation Area Advice Note. This includes guidance on the broad issues to be considered and the special controls that apply in Conservation Areas. AREAS As the purpose of this appraisal is to describe the character of the area, it does not include a detailed description of every feature or building.

  • 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.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.

    GB 1204 Ch 46 Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 22324 ! National Arc F Kent Archives Offic Ch 46 Watts Charity MSS., 1579-1972 Deposited by Mr. Chinnery, Clerk to the Charity, Rochester, 1st May 1974, and 5th February, 1976 Catalogued by Alison Revell, June 1978 INTRODUCTION For information concerning the establishment of Watts's Charity, under Richard Watts of Rochester's will, in 1579 and its subsequent history, The Report of Commissioners for Inquiring Concerning Charities - Kent, 1815-39 Pp. 504-9, provides most of the basic facts. Other Rochester Charities are dealt with in the same Report (see pages 55-57, and 500-513). The Report also deals with various early legal cases concerning the Charity, and the uses to which its funds should be put, most notably the cases of the parishes of St. Margaret 's Rochester, and Strood, against the parishioners of St. Nicholas in 1680, and of the parishioners of Chatham against the Trustees of the Charity in 1808 (see L1-4B in this catalogue). The original will of Richard Watts, drawn up in 1579 and proved in the following year in the Consistory Court of Rochester, is kept in this Office under the catalogue mark, DRb PW12 (1579), with a registered copy in the volume of registered wills, DRb PWr 16 (ffl05-107). A copy is also catalogued in this collection as Ch46 L1A. Further Watts Charity material is found in the Dean and Chapter of Rochester MSS, under the KAO catalogue number, DRc Cl/1-65, and consists mainly of accounts of the Providers of the Poor of Rochester, between the years 1699 and 1819.
