    BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT THE BIDDENDEN PARISH DESIGN STATEMENT STEERING GROUP, BIDDENDEN PARISH COUNCIL c/o THE PARISH CLERK, 15 ORCHARD GLADE, HEADCORN, KENT, TN27 9SS www.biddenden.gov.uk BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT ‘Kent is a county of timber and brick, not stone, not slate and not thatch’ CLIFTON-TAYLOR, 1972 ‘New developments in and around Ashford are designed to fit naturally into the Kent vernacular and reflect the strong sense of place, characteristic of the local area. 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.
