    PEACE, SOLITUDE: Syndale A RURAL WAY OF LIFE Valley Walk faversham.org/walking NEWNHAM – EASTLING – STALISFIELD – DODDINGTON Peace, solitude: a rural way of life “Enchant, stay Escape to a land that time forgot, where farming, food and rural traditions remain the cornerstones of community life among the beautiful and graceful, unspoilt and picturesque scenery of the Syndale Valley. but do this, eat well” Running through the mid Kent Downs – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the chalk valley remains one of the few Charles Pierre Monselet timeless landscapes in this busy corner of Kent. Not without its own share of historic highlights and notoriety, your walk begins in the ancient settlement of Newnham, nestled in the Syndale Valley since at least the 12th century. Here the Romans grew grapes and James Pimm was born – creator of one of Britain’s best-loved summer drinks, the eponymous Pimms. The Revd. Granville Wheler proved the existence of electric current in 1725 at Otterden Place – just one of the grand homes that pepper your path as you make your way through ancient woods, working farmland and historic grazing pastures. Many of the woods on your route are still hunted by wildfowlers who sell their game to local butchers and restaurants, while others support the rural craft of coppicing - common in this area. Traditional coppicing of sweet chestnut shoots for fence stakes extends the life of the trees and floods the woodland floor with light in spring and summer, promoting an abundance of flowers and food for wildlife. As you pass back into sweeping open fields you may see kestrels and other birds of prey.

    Ms Tracy Day 11February 2014 Swale Borough Council Swale House East Street Sittingbourne Kent, ME10 3HT Dear Ms Day Planning Application SW/13/1567 – Land opposite Greenways, Brogdale Road, Faversham I apologise for the lateness of this letter, but trust it is still in time for your consideration. As you will know, CPRE Protect Kent is the Kent Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England which is part of the national CPRE charity. It is our objective to retain and promote a beautiful and thriving countryside that is valued by everyone and we believe the planning system should protect and enhance the countryside in the public interest for the important contribution it makes to peoples’ physical and mental wellbeing, as well as its vital role in feeding the nation. It is our position that local planning authorities should seek to ensure that the impact of development on the countryside, both directly and indirectly, is kept to a minimum and that development is sustainable in accordance with national planning policy. We have looked very closely at this application and the supporting documentation, and we are familiar with the site. For the reasons we explain in this letter we consider that the application should be refused permission. Introduction Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires planning applications to be determined in accordance with the Development Plan unless other material planning considerations indicate that a different decision should be made. This plan-led approach to development is endorsed and enshrined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF - e.g.

  • Park Farm Community Cherry Orchard Group, Lynsted
    Park Farm Community Cherry Orchard Group, Lynsted Chairman's Report for 2010-11. This, the second year of the Orchard Group's existence in independent form, has been particularly active. The cherry blossom was at its glorious best for many a year for our annual family picnic on Blossom Day on 25th April. Live music from the Sittingbourne Wind Ensemble added to the traditional orchard atmosphere. Our Cherry Weekend fell on 10th/11th July. On the Saturday evening, and for the second year running, we welcomed the Detling Singers to Lynsted Church. This group again entertained us with a blend of songs from the shows and more classical pieces, impressing us with their talent and professionalism. Sadly, and despite increased publicity, the audience was again very sparse, and raised the question of the future viability of this event. Cherry Day, held the next day, was blessed with warm, sunny weather. We had more entertainment than ever before, with the lively Oyster Morris, a wonderful display of maypole dancing by the children of Lynsted and Norton School and the usual fine performance of popular tunes from our own Lynsted-based band Frayed Knot. This, and cream teas provided by the Lynsted with Teynham WI, a well-stocked drinks tent, craft stalls, guided tours and the usual chance to 'pick-your-own' ripe cherries from a range of varieties, brought in a record 200-plus crowd. A cookery writer, who had dropped in after a visit to Brogdale, commented that our event 'was so clearly rooted in the community' - a satisfying confirmation of our aims! Later in the year, on 7th August, picnickers again gathered in the grand old Orchard at Park Farm, this time in posh frocks and bow ties.
