  • EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I Do Not Suppose
    EPHRAIM Written by Michael Skinner I do not suppose many people in Penshurst will know me – or remember me, but my name is still just visible on the board over the entrance to the Post Office (formerly The Forge): I am described as SMITH & COACH BUILDER, Agent for agricultural implements. How much longer that inscription will last I cannot imagine, having been painted more than 100 years ago. Illustration by kind permission of Richard Wheatland www.richardwheatland.com Allow me to introduce myself: my name is John Ephraim SKINNER. I was born in November, 1872, at Wadhurst, East Sussex, the eldest son of a couple of farm workers. My father, Thomas, was a ploughman; my mother was just 20 years old when I was born. To be the eldest of 13 children gives anyone some position in life, and so it is no surprise that I grew up feeling rather responsible, not to say patronising towards my younger brothers and sisters. Look at me in the photograph, which I reproduce here. I could not help wearing a suit and butterfly collar – it was prescribed for me, but I did not object. Mind you – it was Sunday wear: we are in the days when everyone had to attend church, and had to dress formally – collar and tie, waistcoat, boots. How on earth do you think an agricultural worker and his wife could feed and clothe such a large family on their pathetic income? I cannot remember passing down clothes to younger boys when I outgrew them; I cannot ever remember having new clothes bought for me.

  • Leigh in the War 1939-45
    LEIGH IN THE WAR 1939-45 Leigh and District Historical Society Occasional Paper No. 2 Foreword The Leigh and District Historical Society has been concerned for some time that there has been no record of the impact of the Second World War on the village and people of Leigh. Many years have elapsed and the memories of these events, though still clear in many peoples’ minds, are inevitably beginning to fade. We have been aware that time was running out. We have therefore been fortunate that Morgen Witzel, a Canadian researcher who has lived in the village for several years, has offered to pull together all the available information. There are many people still in the village who lived here during the war and a number of them, together with others who had moved away but were tracked down through the local media or by word of mouth, were interviewed by Morgen. We are most grateful to them for sharing their memories. Their information has been supplemented by material from the village ARP log, which was kept meticulously right through the war and had been retained by the parish council in their safe; this proved to be a fascinating document. Local newspaper archives, particularly the Tonbridge Free Press, and official documents kept at the Public Record Office in Kew provided further information, and more valuable insight into the period was gained from the diaries of Sir Eric Macfadyen who lived at Meopham Bank and owned land in the parish of Leigh. Information from all of these sources is included in this book and has been consolidated onto a map of the parish which is reproduced inside the back cover.

  • Sevenoaks District Council 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites 2019/20 to 2023/24 Addendum: September 2019
    Sevenoaks District Council 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites 2019/20 to 2023/24 Addendum: September 2019 1.1 This addendum has been prepared to supplement the 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites [SDC008] submitted alongside the Local Plan in April 2019. 1.2 The 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites [SDC008] has been calculated against the local housing need of 707 units per year, in accordance with paragraph 73 of the NPPF. However, the housing requirement set out in the Local Plan is 9,410 units and this figure will replace the local housing need on adoption of the plan, in accordance with paragraph 73 of the NPPF. 1.3 This addendum therefore sets out the calculation of the 5 year supply against the Local Plan housing requirement of 588 units per year. All other aspects of the calculation (application of a 5% buffer, the number of deliverable sites, the qualifying elements of supply) remain as per document SDC008. 1.4 The calculation of the 5 year land supply requirement is set out in the table below. Component Calculation Result (units) A Annual local housing requirement N/A 588 B 5 year requirement A x 5 2,940 C 5% buffer 5% of B 147 D 5 year requirement plus 5% buffer B + C 3,087 1.5 This five year supply of deliverable housing sites assessment identifies a healthy supply of specific deliverable sites in Sevenoaks District that have the capacity to deliver 3,087 residential units in the next 5 years, and 9,410 residential units over the whole of the plan period.

  • Penshurst Circular Via Bough Beech Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Penshurst Circular via Bough Beech walk Popular bird-watching site in the Eden Valley and attractive Kent villages Length Main Walk: 21½ km (13.4 miles). Five hours 15 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9½ hours. Short Walk 1, omitting Penshurst village: 15½ km (9.6 miles). Three hours 45 minutes walking time. Short Walk 2, also omitting Chiddingstone: 14¾ km (9.2 miles). Three hours 30 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 147. Penshurst Station (in Chiddingstone Causeway, TQ519467) is in Kent, 7 km W of Tonbridge. Toughness 5 out of 10 (3 for the Short Walks). Features This walk starts through low-lying farmland interspersed with patches of woodland. At Bore Place it makes use of the farm's permissive trails to reach one of the few viewpoints over Bough Beech Reservoir, a large body of water which is surprisingly well screened from public footpaths in the vicinity. The reservoir was created by damming one of the streams flowing down from the Greensand Hills, but is now mostly replenished with water abstracted from the River Eden. The walk continues across the causeway at the northern end of the reservoir where there are good opportunities for bird-watching, but the site's status as a designated nature reserve is uncertain since Kent Wildlife Trust withdrew from its managment in July 2020. After a loop around the western side of the reservoir the walk comes to the first of two possible lunch pubs, in the hamlet of Bough Beech.

Approach to the Settlement Hierarchy p. 11 5. Updated Settlement Hierarchy for the Local Plan 2015-2035 p. 15 6. Settlement Profiles p. 22 7. Conclusions p. 24 Page | 2 Executive Summary The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) encourages Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) to identify within their Local Plans, appropriate locations for development. These should account for social, economic and environmental opportunities and ensure that the location of development is sustainable. The Settlement Hierarchy is a useful tool to determine the role of settlements, according to a number of factors including population size, services available within a settlement, consideration of Green Belt boundaries and transport connections. The Settlement Hierarchy for Sevenoaks District has 5 settlement classifications, ranking from the most sustainable (Principal Town Centre) to the least sustainable type of settlements (Hamlets): Principal Town – Sevenoaks Urban Area (Sevenoaks Town including Bessels Green, Chipstead, Dunton Green and Riverhead), Towns - Swanley, Edenbridge (including Marlpit Hill) and Westerham Local Service Centres – Hartley, New Ash Green and Otford Villages – West Kingsdown, South Darenth, Hextable, Seal, Brasted, Kemsing, Eynsford, Crockenhill, Halstead, Leigh, Farningham, Sevenoaks Weald, Knockholt (with Knockholt Pound), Sundridge, Shoreham, Four Elms, and Horton Kirby..
