  • 1.1 Ashford Borough Council (ABC); Kent County Council (KCC) Q
    Application by Highways England for an order granting development consent for the proposed M20 Junction 10a. TR01006. Ashford Borough Council’s response to Written Questions. 1.1 Ashford Borough Q Having regard to the criteria listed in para 1.2 of the NPSNN, is there any reason why the Council (ABC); Kent proposed development should not be determined in accordance with the NPSNN County Council (KCC) ABC Answer Ashford Borough Council (ABC) is not aware of any reason why the proposed development should not be determined in accordance with the criteria in paragraph 1.2 of the National Policy Statement for National Networks (NSNN), provided HE addresses the issues ABC raised through it’s relevant representations. 1.2 Applicant; ABC; KCC Q To what extent would the proposed development deliver the objectives of NPSNN to increase the capacity and improve the performance of the Strategic Road Network? ABC Answer Based on the documentation submitted by HE, ABC considers the development will deliver much needed additional capacity and will improve the performance of the Strategic Road Network. The South of Ashford Transport Study (1999) highlighted that the limited available capacity at the existing M20 Junction10 would mean that some development proposals in the then emerging Borough Local Plan 2000 would be unable to be built out unless a new 'Junction10a' could be provided. The council's current adopted development plan - the Core Strategy (2008) and Urban Sites and Infrastructure DPD (2012) place significant weight on the need for Junction10a to be delivered in order for allocated sites to be built out.

Some case studies are written by the community group, others by researchers who visited and interviewed group members, but they have all been validated and endorsed by the community groups. Forest Research developed a standard method for describing the case studies, outlined in Lawrence and Ambrose-Oji, 2013 “A framework for sharing experiences of community woodland groups” Forestry Commission Research Note 15 (available from www.forestry.gov.uk/publications). The case study comprises three parts: 1. The Group Profile provides essential information about the form and function of the community woodland group. Profiles were prepared following the methodology 2. The Change Narrative which documents key moments in the evolution of the community woodland group with a particular focus on the evolution of engagement and empowerment 3. The Engagement and Impacts Timeline documents milestones in the development of the community woodland group, its woodland and any assumed or evidenced impacts. The case studies collectively provide a resource which documents the diversity and evolution of community woodland groups across Scotland, Wales and England. The method ensures that

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • Advising on Land and Water Management Including Surveys, Monitoring and Plans Work with Local Communities
    The KSCP is the principal organisation conserving, enhancing and promoting the countryside and urban green space of the Stour Valley. It is one of eight countryside/coastal partnerships in Kent and covers the largest area. In 2017/18 the Partnership carried out hundreds of projects from Smarden in the west, to Deal in the east, to Whitstable in the north, and Aldington to the south. The KSCP aligns its objectives with those of its key partners - Ashford Borough Council, Canterbury City Council, the Environment Agency and Kent County Council, without whose support it could not operate. We would like to thank all those involved with the Partnership, and especially our volunteers, for making a real difference to the landscape, wildlife and communities of this part of Kent. Work with local communities Supported 17 site based community groups with practical help managing their land. Brought 20 schools onto sites to carry out educational work, and worked with 22 other community groups. We also launched a three year Our Stour project grant aided by the Heritage Lottery Fund and other partners. We established 50 river wardens by the end of March. Karin Moncrieff, Trust Fundraising Manager, The Caldecott Foundation ‘Dear Debbie and Jo, Well, we got there in the end yester- day! Thank you so, so much for all you did to get the team sorted, supervised and indeed, virtually everything planted. It was a huge achievement and we really did appreciate all your help. I know we couldn't have done it without you. The Swiss Re people have been in touch and they were thrilled with the day, but I think there are a few stiff limbs.
