Red clay tiled roofs and walls in brick, hung tile, painted weatherboard and painted brick and render should dominate.’ ATKINS - DESIGN, ENVIRONMENT & ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS (PLANNING, LANDSCAPE & HERITAGE DEPT.) 2002 This Design Statement has been formally adopted by Ashford Borough Council as Supplementary Planning Guidance. The document expresses many views held by local people involved in its preparation. In adopting the Design Statement the Council is not necessarily supporting all of these opinions but is undertaking to take into account the ‘design guidelines’ included in the text when making planning decisions. The Council does not have sufficient powers as planning authority to require these ‘design guidelines’ to be met in all cases - the active support and commitment of developers, landowners and householders is also essential. The points noted under ‘Local Views’ reflect the views of local residents expressed during the preparation of this document, and have not been adopted by Ashford Borough Council. ©2003 The Biddenden Parish Design Statement Group No part of this document may be reproduced for any purpose without the express written permission of the Biddenden Parish Design Statement Group BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT INTRODUCTION In common with many other parishes and villages around the country, the residents of Biddenden greatly value the community in which we live and wish to protect its character and way of life.

  • When and Why Tenterden Became a Member of the Confederation of Cinque Ports
    Tenterden and District Newsletter Local History Society No. 31 September 2017 Founded 25th November 1955 When and Why Tenterden became a Member of the Confederation of Cinque Ports Presently there are fourteen Corporate members of the Confederation of the Cinque Ports. Why fourteen when the Old French word “cinque” means five. The first recorded occasion when the original five Head Ports of Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich were mentioned together is in Charter of Edward the Confessor of 1050. Rye and Winchelsea were initially limbs of Hastings but when that port was seriously affected by the loss of its harbour Rye and Winchelsea now called the “Two Antient Towns” were promoted to the status of Head Port in the Reign of King John. This created seven Head Ports which in their turn also sought assistance from nearby communities. The Cinque Ports were given many powers including the right to self government, independent legal jurisdiction and equally importantly exemption from national taxation. In return for assistance many communities were granted some of the benefits of their Head Port. At times there have been over forty such members. In other cases the assistance was recognised by the grant of a charter and there are currently seven such towns namely Deal, Faversham, Folkestone, Lydd, Margate, Ramsgate and Tenterden. These together with the Head Ports appoint the Lord Warden at a Court of Shepway. For many centuries the Court of Shepway was the equivalent of a Shire Court presided over by a Sheriff. The Cinque Ports fell outside of any County for many legal purposes.
