  • 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.

  • APPENDIX 1 Head of Inward Investment Executive Summary In
    APPENDIX 1 Head of Inward Investment Executive Summary in relation to Planning Application DOV/12/00440 East Kent and Dover are facing significant, unprecedented economic challenges over the next few years as a combination of factors relating to the loss of Pfizer and the deficit reduction programme take hold. Having achieved Enterprise Zone designation at the former Pfizer site and a programme of Regional Growth Fund support, it is imperative that other opportunities for growth, recovery and inward investment are taken to support the area going forward, particularly where they are led by the private sector. The success of the Enterprise Zone programme is a key foundation for future. For this to succeed to maximum effect, it is evident that localities, in which the EZ’s sit, such as Dover District, are able to fully support them. Applications such as that proposed at Western Heights and Farthingloe bring the capacity for support while also helping to address many of the earlier structural issues identified in the Dover area. This support comes both through the content of the application and beyond it in the messaging that it sends out. There is a clear desire to demonstrate that Dover and East Kent is ‘open for business’ and able to secure private sector investment in the current challenging economic climate. The application provides a comprehensive linked proposal. It enables a significant uplift in the Dover housing and community offer, being particularly well located to support the high speed train. Beyond that, however, it provides the catalyst and foundation for change at Western Heights.

  • South Foreland Butterfly Transect 1985-2001 Introduction
    The South Foreland Butterfly Transect 1985-2001 Introduction The South Foreland forms part of the Heritage Coast between Folkestone and Kingsdown. Much of the area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and it is part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The White Cliffs Countryside Project (WCCP) has managed the South Foreland Valley, which was designated a Public Common in the mid 1980s, since 1991. Apart from the mostly arable Wanstone Farm, the area is a mix of chalk grassland and scrub communities with increasing amounts of woodland. This summary outlines the results of a butterfly transect that was carried out between 1985 and 2001, with additional notes on the historical status of the butterflies that are known to have been recorded at the South Foreland, including those that have become extinct. Additional information is included in cases such as Silver-spotted Skipper where it significantly updates the status of a species, up to the end of 2004. Ian Hodgson. December 2004 Late afternoon on Lighthouse Down – home of the localised Silver-spotted Skipper The Butterfly Transect Route Section 1. The route began at the corner of the wall around the lighthouse on the path leading down to the cliff. It followed the wall to the entrance gate to the lighthouse and, bearing right at a 45º angle, crossed the triangular field to the road and then over the cattle grid, following the rough track (Beach Road) to the kissing gate about 20m from the seat that overlooks the valley.

As populations and lifestyles change, so GI must alter to ensure that such changes are sustainable. This increasingly results in the use of space for more than a single purpose, and a key feature of GI is multi-functionality: Whether in a city: Beehives on Lloyds Building, London, producing honey from city gardens and trees. © www.urbanbees.co.uk Or in the countryside: The White Cliffs of Dover support rare wildlife and provide clean drinking water as well as a place for healthy recreation Dover District Council 4 Green Infrastructure Strategy January 2014 The Council is committed to a high growth agenda to stimulate regeneration, and this has sharpened the focus on GI. In order to respond to the Council’s growth agenda while maintaining compliance with sustainable development, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient new provision of GI and protection of the existing assets.
