Lydd and Walland Marsh This Area Is Locally Considered the Western End
Lydd and Walland Marsh This area is locally considered the western end of the Romney Marsh and is composed of six parishes and communities. Lydd Town, Dungeness and Lydd‐on‐Sea Lydd Town is an established community which traditionally included Dungeness and Lydd‐on‐Sea. As a corporate member of the Cinque Ports it acted as a source of wealth through both legal and illegal activities derived from its proximity to the coast, as did the requirement to provide ships for the sovereign’s military excursions. Today it acts as a “District Centre” in Shepway District Council’s core strategy, i.e it provides daily shopping facilities, a medical centre and has various commercial and industrial undertakings that provide for some local employment. To the east of the town is Lydd Airport which is presently subject to planning application for extension of its services. The number 11 bus service operates from Lydd Town to Lydd‐on‐Sea and Dungeness before serving the Marsh villages on its route to Ashford. The parishes of Snargate, Brookland and Brenzett are being organised as a “living” together with All Saints’ Church (Lydd) and St.Peter’s at Greatstone. The parish and town councils of the designated area of Lydd and Walland Marsh undertake some activities together and have made common cause with the higher local government tiers. Should the area be considered as a viable unit then it would allow for two councillors serving a ward of 6,168, a variance of 3.9% variance. 2013 2018 Lydd Town 2665 2864 Lydd‐on‐Sea 1172 1172 Dungeness 943 943 Total (a) 4780 4979 Old Romney 175 175 Brookland 367 395 Brenzett 281 302 Snargate 103 103 Ivychurch 214 214 Total (b) 1140 1189 Grand total 5920 6168 . -

Summary The Romney Marsh has a unique historic landscape that has evolved over thousands of years. It is now the largest coastal wetland on the southern coast of England and is well known for its natural beauty, diverse habitats and wildlife, rich heritage and extensive coastline. Its long and complex natural history is primarily one of land reclamation and the ongoing battle to manage and retain this land. A number of distinctive features are present throughout its iconic landscape that reflect a rich local heritage that is primarily centred on this battle for land drainage and coastal defence as well as a rich agricultural heritage, wartime defences, maritime heritage and the medieval churches of the Marsh. Its landscape is predominantly characterised by its openness and wildness and is unique in the county. 2. Introduction Since the end of the last Ice Age around 11,500 years ago, the Kent coast has been extensively modified by generally rising sea levels. -

An environmental statement accompanied the application. After a period of public consultation, the HSE duly granted consent in July 2006. Conditions were attached to the consent, including a condition relating to the production and maintenance of an Environmental Management Plan covering the on-going mitigation measures to prevent, reduce and, if possible, offset any significant adverse environmental effects of the decommissioning work. This document is the 15th issue of the Dungeness A Site Environmental Management Plan and provides an update on the activities undertaken so far, in addition to the details of the agreed mitigation measures. This document will be re-issued annually as agreed with the Health and Safety Executive. As Site Director for Dungeness A, I look forward to a successful decommissioning project and on behalf of Magnox; I give my commitment to minimising any adverse effect on the environment as a consequence of our decommissioning operations. ……………………………………….

Dungeness Lighthouse, Dungeness
U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Dungeness New and Old Lighthouses (Dungeness, Kent) History Dungeness lies at the southernmost point of Kent and is an enormous flat of sand and shingle which has been a hazard to shipping for hundreds of years. Dungeness Lighthouse marks the end of the peninsula and is also an important way mark and reference for vessels navigating the Dover Straits. Early Lights A lighthouse at Dungeness was first mentioned around 1600 when Trinity House reported against a proposal for a light at Dungeness Point and declined an invitation of the Kingʹs Privy Council to erect one. However persistence by the petitioner, a Sir Edward Howard or Hayman, who held a Court appointment, met with success. Trinity House withdrew its opposition and Howard received a patent in August 1615 from King James I. He marked the spot by an open coal fire and was empowered to levy tolls of one penny per ton from all ships passing it during the next 40 years. Owing to the great difficulty of collecting the dues, Sir Edward made over his rights to William A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Lamplough, Clerk of the Royal Kitchen, who enlisted the help of Customs officials to collect the money at ports. This roused the indignation of ship owners who could no longer avoid paying the charges and they joined forces eagerly with Trinity House in 1621 in promoting a Bill to suppress the lighthouse as ʺa nuisance to navigationʺ because of its poor light.
