These sites will accommodate the growth needed to ensure that our Borough remains a vibrant and prosperous place to live in the future and which provides homes and employment opportunities, shopping and community facilities for today and for the future. Our Borough has distinctive characteristics which we need to ensure are maintained, within Tunbridge Wells and the smaller towns and villages and we have an exceptional rural environment with Green Belt and a large Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty making this a very special place to live and work. Despite this being a difficult economic climate we have to look forward and plan for the future, tempering that with realism. We need to balance the need for growth with ensuring that we protect our environment too, both the natural and historic and at times there will be conflict as we need to balance the needs of all sectors of our community in a sustainable way. The Ministerial foreword to the National Planning Policy Framework says that ‘Sustainable’ means “better lives for ourselves does not mean worse lives for future generations” and this DPD seeks to provide the growth needed for ourselves and our children in what we believe to be a sustainable way. Whilst the levels of growth have already been set in the Core Strategy and tested through Public Inquiry, we still need your input as to the specific sites where the growth should go. We want you to be involved and to tell us your opinions so please take this opportunity to help shape our future by providing your feedback on the sites we have identified. Not only do we want to hear your views on what we believe to be the best options, we also need to know if you think we have not got this right. There is a lot of supporting information which you can find on our website which sets out why we have chosen the sites and places so do have a look at the other locations we have considered too. A separate Development Plan Document will be published during the next year which will also be consulted upon to ensure we have the right planning policies to manage development proposals in the future. These Development Management policies will concentrate on how development should be delivered, what it should look like and what type of uses are appropriate in what locations and will be of key importance in determining planning applications in the future. Councillor Alan McDermott Planning & Transportation Portfolio Holder Tunbridge Wells Borough Local Development Framework 18 March to 24 May 2013 Site Allocations Development Plan Document Consultation Draft How to Get Involved This document, the Site Allocations Development Plan Document Consultation Draft, sets out draft proposals for sites to be developed for the period to 2026.

This is one of the documents identified in the Council's Local Development Framework (LDF), Core Strategy (adopted 2010) and Local Development Scheme (LDS). 1.2 The Council has already prepared and adopted a long-term strategy document, called the Core Strategy (2010), which sets out how much development of each main type will take place and broadly where it will go. The main purpose of this Site Allocations document is to allocate land for housing, employment, retail and other land uses to meet the needs of the communities within Tunbridge Wells Borough to 2026 and beyond, following the strategic objectives and sustainable development objectives as set out within the Core Strategy. The document also identifies areas requiring continued protection from development. 1.3 The DPD has been written in accordance with the adopted Core Strategy and its approach to settlement growth and identifies specific sites where it is proposed that new homes, employment and retailing and, where appropriate, supporting community facilities, should be built.

  • The Gibb Report – an Assessment
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM PRESTIGE LECTURE 3rd October 2017 The Gibb Report – An Assessment by Piers Connor1 Background to the Gibb Report In September 2014, a new company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), was given the contract to run train services operated over the Thameslink, Great Northern, Gatwick Express and Southern Railway. In the year leading up to the summer of 2016, the performance of the Southern Railway, the part of the Govia Thameslink Railway covering the suburban and south coast services between London and a large section of the southern coast of England, deteriorated to a level where passenger dissatisfaction was leading to public demonstrations and persistent media criticism. Eventually, the government was forced to act and they decided to commission a review of Southern and its service performance. The result was the Gibb Report2. to the West Midlands, North West and Scotland to Bedford Milton Keynes Central Bletchley Leighton Buzzard Tring SERVICES AND FACILITIES Berkhamsted London Cannon Street Hemel Hempstead This is a general guide to the basic daily services.

  • What Is a Local Plan?
    1 Introduction What is a Local Plan? 1.1 As the name implies, a Local Plan is a locally-based land use document. It looks ahead ten years and makes provision for both change and the conservation of the best features of the locality. 1.2 In essence, the Local Plan, which should be in general conformity with the approved Kent Structure Plan, has two main functions: • to set out the Local Planning Authority’s policies for the control of development; and • to make proposals for the development and use of land and to allocate land for specific purposes. The Local Plan Process 1.3 The Local Planning Authority consulted on “2000+ Local Plan Review 2001 to 2011” in October 1998. The “2000+” document sets out the key planning issues for the Borough during the next decade and suggested policy directions. Following the receipt of comments on “2000+”; further research and revised Government guidance, the Tunbridge Wells Borough Local Plan Review – Deposit Copy was has been produced. Following public consultation, and consequent revisions, a Second Deposit has been published. The revisions are highlighted by vertical lines in the margin. Deleted text is crossed through, whilst additional text is underlined.The deposit period will commence in August 2001. 1.4 The statutory six-week deposit period is the only period during which the Borough Council can receive support for, or objections to, the Local Plan Review – Second Deposit Copy. All comments will be assessed and the Borough Council may then amend the Deposit Copy. This will be in the form of a Second Deposit Copy, when any Any interested person is will be able to comment on the amendments to amended parts of the Plan only.
