    Statement of Common Ground Between Kent County Council and Maidstone Borough Council Concerning (the Parties) Minerals and Waste Safeguarding and Allocation of Mineral Sites Updated May 2019 1.0 Introduction and Parties Involved 1.1 National policy1 states that: “Local planning authorities and county councils (in two-tier areas) are under a duty to cooperate with each other, and with other prescribed bodies, on strategic matters that cross administrative boundaries.” and “Strategic policy-making authorities should collaborate to identify the relevant strategic matters which they need to address in their plans.” 1.2 It also states2: “In order to demonstrate effective and on-going joint working, strategic policy-making authorities should prepare and maintain one or more statements of common ground, documenting the cross-boundary matters being addressed and progress in cooperating to address these. These should be produced using the approach set out in national planning guidance, and be made publicly available throughout the plan-making process to provide transparency.” 1.3 This document represents a Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) between Kent County Council (KCC) and Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) (the Parties) that demonstrates how cross-boundary matters with respect to minerals and waste are being addressed and progressed. 1.4 Specifically this SoCG covers the following strategic matters: • Safeguarding of mineral resources • Safeguarding Minerals Management, Transportation & Waste Management Facilities • Allocation of land for extraction of minerals 1.5 KCC is the waste and minerals planning authority for the two tier area of Kent with responsibility for planning for the future management of waste and supply of minerals in the county by preparing relevant strategic policies.

  • A CRITICAL EVALUATION of the LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD of the CHALK UPLANDS of NORTHWEST EUROPE Lesley
    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release.

The nature reserve at Sandwich Bay is owned jointly by the Kent Trust for Nature Conservation, National Trust and Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. The site has been extended to include a Kent Trust designated Site of Nature Conservation Interest known as Richborough Pasture and there are several other small amendments. Reasons for Notification: This site contains the most important sand dune system and sandy coastal grassland in South East England and also includes a wide range of other habitats such as mudflats, saltmarsh, chalk cliffs, freshwater grazing marsh, scrub and woodland. Associated with the various constituent habitats of the site are outstanding assemblages of both terrestrial and marine plants with over 30 nationally rare and nationally scarce species, having been recorded. Invertebrates are also of interest with recent records including 19 nationally rare3, and 149 nationally scarce4 species. These areas provide an important landfall for migrating birds and also support large wintering populations of waders, some of which regularly reach levels of national importance5.

It sets out the local community’s aspirations for Lenham over the period to 2031 and establishes policies in relation to land use and development. These are policies that will influence future planning applications and decisions in the area. 1.1.2 The purpose of neighbourhood planning is to give local people and businesses a much greater say in how the places in which they live and work should change and develop over time. Neighbourhood planning is designed to give local people a very real voice in deciding the look and feel of an area, from determining the location of shops, offices and schools for example, to identifying sites and development standards for new housing.

  • Guilford House Singledge Lane | Coldred | Dover | CT15 5A Seller Insight
    Guilford House Singledge Lane | Coldred | Dover | CT15 5A Seller Insight The house was originally built for us and over the years we have enjoyed not only living in this lovely home but also having the opportunity to keep horses and pigs. However we feel it is now time to downsize and, although we have spent considerably time and effort getting the plans passed for the redevelopment of the barn and yard, we feel it would probably be appropriate to pass this on to a new owner. The property is very conveniently located as it is only just over a mile to Eythorne with a good primary school, heritage railway, village shop and local pub while there is a mainline station at nearby Shepherdswell. It is two miles to Whitfield where you will find a primary school, hairdresser, doctor’s surgery and a vet as well as a post office, a pub, a garage and the Ramada hotel. There is also a village hall that provides a number of activities and you have access to a Tescos superstore and a number of other large, retail outlets that are very close by. Dover includes the port for easy access to the Continent while the town centre has a number of individual shops, bars and restaurants. Motoring enthusiasts can enjoy racing at Lydden circuit and sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, while golfers have a variety of choices from the Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club or Broome Park to the Championship courses at Sandwich and Deal”.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

  • COUNTRYSIDE Page 1 of 16
    Page 1 of 16 COUNTRYSIDE Introduction 12.1 Shepway has a rich and diverse landscape ranging from the rolling chalk downland and dry valleys of the North Downs, through the scarp and dip slope of the Old Romney Shoreline, to Romney Marsh and the unique shingle feature of the Dungeness peninsula. This diversity is reflected in the range of Natural Areas and Countryside Character Areas, identified by English Nature and the Countryside Agency respectively, which cover the District. The particular landscape and wildlife value of large parts of the District is also recognised through protective countryside designations, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Heritage Coastline, as well as the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside also plays host to a wide range of activities and it is recognised that the health of the rural economy and the health of the countryside are inter-linked. A function of the Local Plan is to achieve a sustainable pattern of development in the countryside. This involves a balance between the needs of rural land users and maintaining and enhancing countryside character and quality. 12.2 This balance is achieved in two main ways:- a. By focussing most development in urban areas, particularly on previously developed sites and ensuring that sufficient land is allocated to meet identified development requirements, thus reducing uncertainty and speculation on ‘greenfield’ sites in the countryside. b. By making firm policy statements relating to: the general principles to be applied to all proposals in the countryside; specific types of development in the countryside; and the protection of particularly important areas.
