  • Local Plan DRAFT
    ANNEX 1 Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council Local Plan DRAFT Regulation 19 Pre-Submission Publication June 2018 Foreword The Borough of Tonbridge and Malling is a diverse and characterful place. It includes areas of recent development and growth together with historic environments. Its geography is varied and the physical characteristics have and will continue to reflect patterns of land use and activity. It is a place where traditional and modern businesses thrive, where established and new communities have flourished but where pressures on community facilities, transport infrastructure and the environment are challenging. The Borough Council, working with a wide range of partners, have embraced the benefit of strategic planning over decades. That has been beneficial in shaping development and properly addressing needs for homes, jobs and supporting facilities in a planned way. Moving forward the continuation of that approach is ever more challenging, but in providing a sustainable and planned approach to our borough and providing for local needs this Plan takes on that challenge. This Local Plan relates closely to the borough and communities it will serve. It reflects national planning policy and shapes that locally, based on what is seen locally as the most important planning issues taking account of locally derived evidence. It is designed as a plan that is responsible in facing up to difficult choices and one which is based upon fostering care in the way we plan for this and future generations of Tonbridge and Malling. It provides a sound basis on which to judge planning applications, achieve investment and provide confidence about future development and future preservation where both are appropriate.

  • Ightham Mote: Topographical Analysis of the Landscape
    8 IGHTHAM MOTE: TOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE LANDSCAPE Matthew Johnson, Timothy Sly, Carrie Willis1 Abstract. This chapter reports on survey at Ightham Mote in 2013 and 2014, and puts the survey results in the context of a wider analysis of the Ightham landscape. Ightham is another late medieval building surrounded by water features, whose setting might be seen as a ‘designed landscape’. Here, we outline and evaluate the evidence for the landscape as it developed through time. As with the other buildings and landscapes discussed in this volume, rather than argue for either an exclusively utilitarian or exclusively aesthetic view, we provide an alternative framework with which to explore the way that barriers and constraints on movement in physical space reflect boundaries in social space. Rather than labelling a landscape aesthetic or practical, we can identify the practices and experiences implicated in landscapes, and their active role in social relations. Ightham Mote is the fourth late medieval building and landscape to be discussed in this volume (Fig. 8.1; for location see Fig. 1.1). Like the others, Ightham is a National Trust property. The buildings consist of an inner and outer court, whose ‘footprint’ and external appearance was probably substantially complete by the end of the Middle Ages. The standing structure is a patchwork of different building phases from the early 14th century to the present day. Most recently, the building went through a comprehensive conservation programme costing over ten million pounds, and involving the controlled disassembly and reconstruction of large parts of the house. The information revealed by this process enabled others to put together a very detailed outline of the development of the house from Fig.

  • 'West Wood' and 'Recreation Ground' at Hildenborough As
    Applications to register lands known as ‘West Wood’ and ‘Recreation Ground’ at Hildenborough as new Village Greens A report by the Head of Regulatory Services to Kent County Council’s Regulation Committee Member Panel on Tuesday 3rd March 2015. Recommendation: I recommend that the County Council informs the applicant that the applications to register the lands known as ‘West Wood’ and ‘Recreation Ground’ at Hildenborough have both been accepted, and that the areas of land subject to the applications be formally registered as Town or Village Greens. Local Member: Mrs. V. Dagger Unrestricted item Introduction 1. The County Council has received two applications from Hildenborough Parish Council (“the applicant”) to register lands known as ‘West Wood’ and ‘Recreation Ground’ in the parish of Hildenborough as new Town or Village Greens. The applications, both received on 31st January 2014, were allocated the application numbers VGA659 (Recreation Ground) and VGA660 (West Wood). Plans of the sites are shown at Appendix A to this report and copies of the application forms are attached at Appendix B. Procedure 2. Traditionally, Town and Village Greens have derived from customary law and until recently it was only possible to register land as a new Town or Village Green where certain qualifying criteria were met: i.e. where it could be shown that the land in question had been used ‘as of right’ for recreational purposes by the local residents for a period of at least 20 years. 3. However, a new provision has been introduced by the Commons Act 2006 which enables the owner of any land to apply to voluntarily register the land as a new Village Green without having to meet the qualifying criteria.

  • Enc. 1 for Flood Risk Alleviation , Item 181
    The Medway Flood Partnership The Medway Flood Partnership was established in January 2017 and brings together local partners, national agencies, non-governmental organisations and community representatives with the aim of reducing flood risk within the Medway catchment and create better places for people, properties and businesses. The partnership brings together senior representatives from the following organisations: • Environment Agency • Country Land and Business Association • Joint Parish Flood Group • Forestry Commission • Kent County Council • Kent Association of Local Councils • National Farmers Union • Maidstone Borough Council • Sevenoaks District Council • Natural England • Southern Water • South East Rivers Trust • Tunbridge Wells Borough Council • Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council • Upper Medway Internal Drainage Board Reducing the risk of flooding in the Medway catchment is a complex problem that is best solved by working in partnership. During the December 2013 flood event, approximately 965 homes were flooded across the Medway catchment, devastating people and livelihoods. Over 9,000 properties across the Medway catchment are at risk of river flooding with more at risk from other sources such as surface water or sewer flooding. The flood action plan was first published at the end of 2017 and sets out what partner organisations will do to reduce flood risk in the short term. While this flood action plan is a significant milestone in addressing flood risk in the Medway catchment, it is part of a longer journey with the partnership, communities and with individuals to build awareness and preparedness for flooding, and identify and develop more actions which can help to reduce flood levels. Over the coming years, the partnership will continue to work with communities to develop this plan further and consider the 25 year vision and the pathway to getting there.
