  • Statement of Significance
    STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Alterations and Extension to The Oast 11 Yaldham Manor Drive Kemsing TN15 6FA On behalf of: Mr and Mrs Jameson Compiled by: MRM Design Studio December 2020 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Statement of Significance has been prepared on behalf of Mr and Mrs Jameson by MRM Design Studio in support of a householder planning application for The Oast, 11 Yaldham Manor Drive, Kemsing TN15 6FA. The application is for the creation of a ground floor extension, internal alterations and the creation of a garage and store to the The Oast. Yaldham Manor is Grade II listed and the period outlying collection of buildings are listed by virtue of being within its curtilage and their relationship to it. It states Under National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) at paragraph 128 that: ‘In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance’. This document looks to provide a proportionate level of detail identifying the significance of the heritage asset and how the proposals will impact it. Page 2 Statement of Significance | The Oast, Yaldham Manor Drive | MRM Design Studio 2.0 LOCATION The site lies on the south side of Kemsing Road to the west of Wrotham village, to the south lies the M26 motorway. The site lies within open countryside which is designated as Metropolitan Green Belt and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • Harrison-Vol 14
    Maidstone Museum Benjamin Harrison Archive Volume 14 The date of this volume, as indicated on the first page on the top right hand corner is June 1896 to September 1897. As is the norm for most of the notebooks, BH mixes daily diary entries with copied extracts from journals and books. He follows his usual practice of starting another set of entries, in this instance not numbered and all devoted to the life and work of the – then - recently deceased Sir Joseph Prestwich, from the back of the volume. There are several original letters from Prestwich to BH, in writing every bit as indecipherable as BH’s often is. The hand of Edward Harrison is discernable throughout, adding the year to BH’s day and month entries. BH’s writing throughout this notebook is particularly difficult to read and there are more gaps in the transcription/annotation than has been the case in the preceding volumes as a result of this.] Fly-leaf, unnumbered page. Two faded photographs, The photographs show The George and Dragon, with a sign attached to the building indicating that at the time of the photograph, the establishment is a commercial bicycle hotel. The second photograph shows BH and one of his daughters standing in an open plot of land, which this writer believes to be either adjacent to his house or part of his garden. The church tower is just visible and the growth of the hedgerows indicate the site of the Shode as it flowed through Ightham, and to the north east of Old Stones [his house] before taking a more south easterly direction in the dip of the main road by Ightham Place.

  • Eynsford Conservation Area Appraisal
    Eynsford Conservation Area Appraisal SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE December 2003 Eynsford Conservation Area Appraisal The historic environment is a social asset of immense value and one of the keys to the continuing prosperity of Sevenoaks District. Conservation Area Appraisals are part of the process of ensuring that we make the best use of our historic environment. They are tools for the positive management of change, not a means of preventing development. Conservation is focused on the entire historic environment, not just listed buildings. Trees, open spaces, buildings, uses, roads and streets all contribute to the character and local distinctiveness of the District’s conservation areas. The man-made environment of our conservation areas has used energy and materials moulded by people both past and present. The District Council will creatively manage the fabric of these areas in a sustainable way as a legacy for future generations. It is intended that this appraisal will inform the activities of the Council, the public and other bodies where these impact on the conservation area. The appraisal was approved by the District Council in December 2003 and adopted as supplementary planning guidance. Sevenoaks District Council is not liable for any loss or damage, however sustained by others arising from the contents of this document. This document must not be reproduced in whole or in part without prior written permission from the Council. © Sevenoaks District Council, December 2003 Published by Sevenoaks District Council Strategic Services
