NASHENDEN VALLEY: MID KENT DOWNS

Location map:

NASHENDENCHARACTER VALLEYAREA DESCRIPTION To the west of Walderslade, a series of tiny, steep valleys run north east into the Nashenden Valley. The M2 motorway, which cuts along the north side of this valley, forms the boundary between the AONB and Rochester. This is an open, sweeping landscape of huge arable fields and large blocks of dense, deciduous woodland.

Despite the proximity of the motorway and Rochester, this area still remains a strong rural character. Nevertheless, the long views within the valley make it vulnerable to development, as there are few hedges or shaws to provide screening.

MID KENT DOWNS The Nashenden Valley lies within the larger character area of the Mid Kent Downs.

The long spine of the Kent Downs in this area stretches from Chatham in the west to the Stour Valley in the east. Although there are local variations in the appearance of the landscape, there is a strong underlying pattern to the landform, which imparts an overall character to the region. Throughout the length of the chalk ridge a series of narrow, steep-sided dry valleys carve their way down the gentle northern dip-slope of the Downs to the flatter land of the North Kent Fruit Belt, around Sittingbourne and Faversham.

The historical poverty of this area resulted largely from the stiff clay-with-flints soils, which overlie the solid chalk. Despite their striking, rich-red colour, these soils are relatively poor and difficult to cultivate, especially as they occur on the exposed upper plateau of the Downs. Edward Hasted, writing in 1798, consistently describes the area in terms such as "an unpleasant dreary country, the soil of which is very poor, being chalky, and much covered with flint-stones". In his day the land was used widely for sheep grazing, interspersed by arable on the lower slopes and large blocks of woodland. Today appreciation of the landscape has changed and the remote, undeveloped ridges and valleys, which resulted from the historical poverty of the soils, are considered one of the most beautiful features of the AONB. Although mechanised farming over the last hundred years has seen an increase in the area of arable land, much of the original ancient woodland survives, walling in the arable plateau and enclosing the rounded, valley bottoms.

LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS Condition Condition Good.

A coherent land pattern follows the top of the scarp and the plateau. The visual unity is Pattern of elements: Coherent. interrupted by plantation woodland and sweeping open spaces. Broadleaf woodland and shaws form large clusters of semi-natural habitats around large arable areas. Built Detracting features: Few. development appears generally unremarkable. The condition of heritage features varies - Visual Unity: Unified. tree cover is widespread, some highways are narrow and well-wooded, wooded edges to arable areas are felt to be vulnerable. Cultural integrity: Variable. Ecological integrity: Moderate. Functional Integrity: Coherent.

Sensitivity Sensitivity Very High.

The area has a strong sense of place, influenced by the dominant landform and the Distinctiveness: Characteristic. continuity of both the woodland and the form of the common land. Visibility is high due to the dominant landform, although views are intermittent. The area is considered to be highly Continuity: Ancient. sensitive. Sense of Place: Strong. Landform: Dominant.

Conserve the historic form of open common land Conserve the historic form of pastoral/common clearings with wooded edges. Conserve wooded edges by sensitive management Conserve wooded edges to roads and encourage the sensitive management of wooded Conserve broadleaf woodland and woodland cover edges to arable areas. generally Conserve wooded shaws. Conserve the sparseness of settlement Conserve the remote quality of the landscape and the lack of settlement.

In winter ground within the AONB, but views towards the AONB would still be possible to the south of the development. For the months, views would be possible through the trees towards an elevated ridgeline within the Kent Downs AONB.

Representative Viewpoint 5 - Horsted Valley (Public Footpath) (1.9km, north-east)

This view is from a public footpath within an area of open access land towards the upper slopes of Horsted Valley, looking south-west. The view is channelled down the valley towards the Kent Downs AONB in the distance, which marks the horizon just above buildings that bound Maidstone Road (A229). To the left-hand side of the view, the roof top of Innovation Centre Medway can be seen just above tree tops. To the right-hand side of the view, terrain, buildings and woodland screens the northern site area.

Buildings within the southern area would be largely screened by intervening features, although the taller 6 storey building would be just visible above the treeline, as illustrated in the photowire overlay and photomontage for viewpoint 5 (6330_ VAR_05_A). Proposed buildings within the northern site area would be obscured by intervening terrain. Given the distance from the proposals and the fact that they would be barely perceptible, Permanent effects would be of Negligible scale and Neutral.

This view is from a bridleway (also the North Downs Way National Trail) within the Kent Downs AONB, looking south- east across a road and rail infrastructure corridor towards a well-treed scarp slope that defines the edge of Rochester. Buildings within the Rochester and Laker Road industrial estates are visible above the treeline.

Proposed buildings within the northern area would be largely screened by trees along the scarp slope and trees along Rochester Road, with the tops of buildings visible just above the treeline, as illustrated in the photowire overlay and photomontage for viewpoint 6 (6330_VAR_06_A). Proposed buildings within the southern site area would be obscured by intervening woodland and trees. Given the proposals would be barely perceptible, and where visible would be seen beyond the infrastructure corridor and seen in the context of existing industrial buildings at the edge of the scarp slope, Permanent effects would be of Small- Negligible scale and Neutral.
