  • Broadway Slip, Pluckley Road, Charing, Kent Design and Access Statement
    Outline Application Submission – Broadway Slip, Pluckley Road, Charing, Kent Design and Access Statement Introduction This document forms part of the outline application submission for the development of the land adjacent to The Old Corn Store, now otherwise known as Broadway Slip, to provide three new dwellings consisting of 2No. detached, three-bedroom chalet bungalows and 1No. two storey detached four-bedroom. The existing site is a dense tree lined strip of land positioned between The Old Corn Store and the Grade II listed Broadway Cottages. The vast majority of these trees are located outside of the site boundary and are believed to either be owned by the Local Authority or the land owners around the site. Existing Site The application site is located on Pluckley Road, Charing, approximately 0.5 miles from the centre of the village. The site is clearly defined with timber post and wire/mesh fencing to all four boundaries and measures approximately 2300 sqm in area. Site access for maintenance is via an existing temporary gate serviced by a drop kerb. The site boundary/gates in this location are set back approximately 4.9m from the edge of Pluckley Road. 1.0 Site Location Plan The application site, which was formerly part of the gardens to The Old Corn Store, has become scrub land in more recent years and is disused by the owners and can reasonably be defined as an infill site with clear definition of the residential curtilages of the adjacent properties continuing across the rear of the proposed development site. 1 Broadway cottages to the north-east of the site are a pair of Grade II listed late 18 th century – early 19 th century cottages, finished with timber weatherboarding and a hipped clay tile roof.

  • Outline Application Submission – Land Adjacent to Forge House, Egerton Road, Charing Heath
    Outline Application Submission – Land adjacent to Forge House, Egerton Road, Charing Heath. Design and Access Statement Introduction This document forms part of the outline application submission for the development of the land adjacent to Forge House to provide five new dwellings consisting of 1x semi-detached four-bedroom dwelling over two stories, 2x semi-detached three-bedroom dwellings over two stories, 1x single storey detached three-bedroom dwelling and 1x semi-detached two-bedroom dwelling over one storey with accommodation in the roof space. The existing Grade II dwelling and outbuildings sit outside the application site and separated from the proposed development by a mature hedge which is to be retained, the proposals have been carefully designed to ensure that the impact on the retained dwelling and its setting are minimal. Existing Site The application site is located on Egerton road in the hamlet of Charing Heath which is approx. 1.5 miles from the nearest village of Charing. The site is defined by the existing curtilage of the paddock to the west of Forge House and measures approx. 2500sqm in area. Forge House is a Grade II Listed building with several outbuildings including a recently constructed oak-framed carport that abuts the eastern boundary of the application site, the listed house itself is set further away from the site beyond the drive. The application site has its own clearly defined boundary with only a timber pedestrian gated access to the paddock which will be stopped up. The site is located on the southern side of Egerton Road at the junction with Church Hill and forms part of a small cluster of dwellings located south-west of the Red Lion Public House at the centre of the hamlet.

Appendix W2 – Letter to householder and housing needs survey 53 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rural Housing Enabler (RHE) undertook a parish wide survey to ascertain if there are shortfalls in affordable housing provision within the parish of Wye with Hinxhill. The survey also sought to identify the needs of older households of all tenures needing to downsize/move to more suitable accommodation. This report provides overall information as well as analysis of housing need. A survey was posted to every household within the parish in July 2018. 1200 surveys were distributed with 387 surveys being returned, representing a 32% response rate. Analysis of the returned survey forms identified that 75% of respondents are owner occupiers. 55% of respondents have lived in the parish for over 10 years. High property prices and a predominance of privately owned homes means that some local people are unable to afford a home within the parish. At the time of writing the report the cheapest property for sale was a 3 bed bungalow for £275,000; to afford to buy this a deposit of approximately £41,250 would be required and an income of £66,786.

  • Canopy Cover Report
    Canopy Cover Assessment Kent Districts and Medway Executive Summary Canopy cover describes the area covered by a tree or shrub when viewed from above, including the leaves, branches and stem. Canopy cover is a two-dimensional metric, which can be used to quantify the spread of tree cover across an area, this method, however, does not measure understory vegetation. Assessing the spatial extent of a district and establishing a baseline dataset is an important step in the management of our natural environment and can assist planners, policy makers, foresters and communities to recognise the benefits provided by green infrastructure and its importance in community planning, sustainability and resilience. This dataset may be used to target resources to the areas that most need it. This study estimates tree canopy cover in Kent’s Districts using BlueSky data and the i-Tree analysis and assessment tool. Estimates of canopy cover for each ward, as well as each district’s total were calculated. The results provide a snapshot of current tree canopy cover and a baseline for comparison with future surveys. The average canopy cover of Kent and Medway is estimated at 17% and the canopy cover of the districts are as follows.
