Sevenoaks District Council Egan, Helen From: Neil Crabtree < Sent: 24 February 2015 21:26 To: Cooper, Mark Cc: Reviews@ Subject: Sevenoaks District Kent County Council Revised Division Boundaries Attachments: KCC Sevenoaks Ward Pattern proposal 2015.docx; SevenoaksCountyCouncilDivisionElectors.xlsx Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear Mark Many thanks for your assistance in the confirmation of the calculation of the average electors per division for Kent. I also received some very helpful input and information from the Electoral Services and GSI departments at Sevenoaks District Council. Based on this data I have put together a proposal for county divisional boundaries for the Sevenoaks District and please find this attached. I also have attached a spreadsheet based on your Kent-Electorate-Form-FINAL1.xlsx and which uses the same formula and conditional formatting. If you do need any further information from me I will of course be more than happy to provide whatever I am able. I will send a signed copy by post. With kind regards Neil Crabtree 1 24 February 2015 Mr. Mark Cooper Local Boundary Commission for England 3rd Floor, Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG Dear Mark Kent County Council Boundary Review: Proposed Ward Pattern – Sevenoaks District Many thanks for your assistance in clarifying some points, particularly the basis of the average size of the electors per division. I have proposed a ward pattern, in line with your guidelines, so that each councillor in the Sevenoaks District will have approximately the same number of electors and well within the +/- 10% margin around the mean value for Councillors in Kent . These new electoral divisions will be able to be represented effectively by their councillors. I have also proposed a divisional pattern which I think reflects the strong community interests particularly of Sevenoaks itself and its immediate surrounding areas of Seal and the Weald, and also to an extent of the other areas within the greater Sevenoaks District. In the attached supporting documentation I have followed your guidelines and of course hope that I have made a strong and cogent case. Should you need any clarification please do contact me. Yours sincerely Neil Crabtree Proposal for the Kent County Council Boundary Review - Sevenoaks District 1. Electoral Equality for voters. The details are provided in the accompanying spreadsheet which is based on the Local Government Boundary Commission for England spreadsheet Kent- Electorate-Form-FINAL1.xlsx. The average number of electors per councillor for all electors in Kent based on year 2020 elector number projections and on the required 81 councillors are 14,288. This proposal for Sevenoaks District provides for 6 councillors, and the proposed range of elector numbers is from 14,160 to 15,416 all well within the +/- 10% band around the mean as shown below:

  • Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy for the AMR: June 2015
    Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy for the AMR: June 2015 Appendix A: Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy for the AMR 2015 1. Introduction The Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy was first prepared in 2007/2008, with the last update in July 2009. The Hierarchy identifies several tiers of settlements based on an audit of existing services and facilities. As such, it serves as a useful tool in helping to advise on options for new development taking account of the most sustainable locations. Together with other policy considerations and evidence, the Hierarchy will therefore help inform the strategic policy options for the location and scale of new development within the new Local Plan. The purpose of this report is to outline the Settlement Hierarchy for the Sevenoaks District. The Hierarchy: Provides a brief overview of the national and local planning policy context; Describes the broad methodology used to develop the Hierarchy; and Outlines and justifies the classification of each of District’s settlements included within the Hierarchy. 2. Policy Context 2.1 National Policy Context National planning policy states that any development should take place within the most sustainable and deliverable locations. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that a series of land-planning principles should be used when undertaking plan-making and decision- taking, in order to maintain sustainable development. Paragraph 17 of the NPPF outlines the principles of development stating that “[…] every effort should be made objectively to identify and then met the housing business and other development needs of an area and respond positively to wider opportunities to grow”, while promoting “[…] mixed use developments, and encourage multiple benefits from the use of land in urban and rural areas, recognising that some open land can preform many functions (such as wildlife, recreation, flood risk mitigation, carbon storage, or food production)”.

NB The following assessment criteria used for the Highways and Transportation and Heritage and Conservation site assessments are as follows: Highways and Transportation All Call-for Sites Submissions and Other New Sites (with results of Preliminary Assessment) SITE ASSESSMENT (TRANSPORT) Assessed against indicative use proposed by promoter (A = Existing. B = Potential. C = Difficult) Sustainability Criteria I) within 800m walking distance of a bus stop or railway station providing 2 or more services per hour ii) within 800m walking distance of a convenience store, primary school and a GP surgery iii) within 30 mins public transport time of a GP, a hospital, a primary school, a secondary school, employment area and major retail centre. (A = all 3 criteria met. B= 1 or 2 criteria met. C = none of criteria met) Heritage and Conservation The initial archaeological appraisal of options carried out for the housing and mixed use sites within this table has been undertaken primarily from readily available resources held by the Kent County Council Historic Environment Record. It is not a detailed appraisal but merely provides a broad initial view on the sensitivity of the archaeological resource and the way in which this should be approached for each of the options.
