  • Development Management Plan Regulation 19 Fact Sheet
    Development Management Plan Regulation 19 Fact Sheet Kingswood with Burgh Heath Development Management Plan (DMP) policy starting point The starting point for the approach to future development in Kingswood with Burgh Heath ward is the Council’s adopted Core Strategy which identifies the need to make the best use of previously developed land in the urban area, and identifies a housing target of 930 units between 2012 and 2027 for the north of the borough. Most housing development in this area will continue to be ‘windfall’ development’ – that is, on sites within the urban area which are not possible to reliably predict. Relevant evidence for this area includes: The Local Centres Evidence Paper, which assesses existing local centres and proposes new centres to be designated in the DMP. The Residential Areas of Special Character Review, which assesses existing RASCs and proposes new areas to be designated in the DMP. The Urban Open Space Review, which recommends which areas of open space in the urban area should be designated and protected through the DMP. The Green Belt Review, which considers the need for placing Babylon Lane within the Green Belt. Designations: Residential Areas of Special Character Green Belt Kingswood Warren and The Glade Babylon Lane area included within the Alcock’s Lane & Waterhouse Lane Green Belt Copt Hill Lane & Furze Hill Urban Open Space Local Centres Kingswood Warren Waterhouse Lane St Andrew’s Church Lower Kingswood Kingswood Court Burgh Heath Smithy Lane Allotments Ballards Green View all

  • Autumn 2019 Newsletter
    RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Newsletter of Tattenham & Preston Residents Autumn 2019 Newsletter www.tattenhamra.org.uk WHAT ARE YOUR LOCAL SPENDING PRIORITIES? THE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY Since a change in government policy a couple of years ago, the developer of each new house or flat has to pay a Community Infrastructure Levy or CIL, so as to meet at least part of the cost of additional infrastructure, facilities and services, recognising the impact of new households in the area. It is funding for items such as additional class rooms, new doctors surgeries, new roads etc. The charge is based on the size of each property, but there are exceptions; for example the levy is not applied to new social housing or on extensions. The money is not to be used for ongoing running costs or maintenance. 80% of the money is spent on major schemes around the whole borough, and 5% to administer the CIL scheme. The balance of 15% is available for smaller local improvement projects in each local community. The Borough Council has been running a consultation to understand what the community’s priorities are for improvements and to seek suggestions for particular projects. The Residents Association has made its own suggestions. Two priorities – one each in Tattenhams and Preston. A Younger children’s play area. The location suggested is the plot of land opposite the Tattenham Corner shops, at the junction of Tattenham Crescent, Great Tattenhams and Downland Way – see the top photo above left. B Public realm improvements at the local Preston shopping parade at the corner of Marbles Way and Hatch Gardens – see the bottom photo to the left.

    Village News Spring Edition 2021 May 2021 www.lowerkingswood.co.uk Change in the Village As we start to exit the pandemic, as individuals and as a community, we can reflect on both the challenges and changes it has caused. The Lower Kingswood Residents’ Association (LKRA) has not been immune to change; as will be highlighted in this Newsletter, our Chairman and Secretary have stood down. Currently, Ian Floyd is Acting as our Chairman and Gill Utting as Secretary; these positions will be reviewed at the next AGM. Covid rules have changed how everyone interacts; like others, we have all had to learn how to use Zoom and other internet connecting programmes effectively. However, this challenge has not stopped LKRA from working on behalf of the village and its residents. Since our last Newsletter, we have been busy assisting residents with many challenges during the pandemic, offering support to organisations such as the British Legion, who celebrate their 100th anniversary this year, and we have recently started working with other Resident Associations to launch a project to improve our local green space and create a 'Green Corridor' from the M25 to Burgh Heath. See page 8 for more information on this, including how people can get involved going forwards. This new normal has prevented us from communicating with residents through our regular Newsletter. Going forward, we aim to review its format, and we welcome any suggestions on what is required in a community Newsletter. Currently we are also looking to modernise the website and if anyone has the skills and time to assist us please get in touch via the contact section of the website.
