Catalogue Transfer Project Temporary closure of Kent Archive and Local History service at the Kent History and Library Centre, 9-26 December 2019 Work on phase 1 of our Catalogue Transfer Project by staff and volunteers is now drawing to a close. This means that we have now almost completed typing up and uploading all of the outstanding paper catalogues that predated the introduction of our electronic cataloguing software and its online counterpart. In total, we have completed typing up almost 500 archive catalogues. The next phase of this project is to enable readers to order documents directly from our online catalogue. In 2017, Kent Archives launched its own website and integrated catalogue, enabling readers to find out more about our services and collections all in one place at www.kentarchives.org.uk. Making our collections orderable Some of the rare books held in Kent Archives’ local history collection that require catalogue online will involve checking all of entries to be created, as well as packaging, barcoding and locating, prior to being orderable on our existing online catalogues for our online catalogue. errors in the structure and arrangement of the entries, which if uncorrected would prevent our users from being able to locate and identify relevant records. We also need to produce catalogue entries for our extensive local history collections, which have previously only been partially listed on the Kent libraries catalogue.

  • 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.

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.. Hamlets – Penshurst, Hever, Fawkham, Ide Hill, Chiddingstone, Chiddingstone Causeway, Badgers Mount, Cowden, Underriver, Crockham Hill, Fordcombe, Hodsoll Street, Ash, Stone Street, Mark Beech, Swanley Village, Chiddingstone Hoath, Toys Hill, Well Hill, Chevening, Knatts Valley, Bough Beech, Bitchet Green, Heaverham, Godden Green, Mark Beech and Pratts Bottom.

  • List of Incumbents of St Peter's, Seal (With
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 20 1893 ( 258 ) LIST OF INCUMBENTS OF ST. PETER'S, SEAL. (HELD WITH ST. MAET'S, KEMSINQ-, TJMTII, 1874.) BY BEV. T. SHIPDBM FKAMPTON, M.A., F.S.A. AMONG the archives of Rochester Cathedral is a MS. volume entitled Textus Roffensis, compiled by Bishop Ernulf probably about the year 1120. Among its contents is a List of Churches in the diocese, with the dues they paid to the Mother Church on receiving the sacred chrism. In the course of the List appears the entry—" Cimisinga ix. den.," indicating that Kemsing paid the sum of nine pence. The word " Sela " has been added in the margin in smaller characters, and perhaps by a much later hand, but it would be impossible to say exactly when the addition was made. From the omission of the name from the text, as well as from the fact that no mention of it is made in the next chapter, which treats " de Capellis," it may be inferred that there was not a capella at Seal at the time when the Textus Rajfensis was compiled. On 3 August 1233, Eleanor, daughter of King John, and widow of the second Earl of Pembroke, obtained from her royal brother, Henry III., the grant of a weekly market on Wednesday, and of an annual fair on the vigil, day, and morrow of St. Edith, Virgin, to be held "apud manerium suum de Sele." (Charter Eoll, 17 Henry III., m. 2.) On 1 January 1284-5, Otho Grandison, who was then owner of the manor, obtained a similar grant from Edward I., of a weekly market on Monday, and of an annual fair on the vigil, the clay, the morrow of the Apostles, Peter and Paul, and one day after, "apud manerium suum de la Sele juxta Kemesing."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rural Housing Enabler (RHE) undertook a parish wide survey to ascertain if there are shortfalls in affordable housing provision within the parish of Kemsing. The survey also sought to identify the needs of older households of any tenure wishing to downsize/move to more suitable housing for their needs. This report provides overall information as well as analysis of housing need. A survey was posted to every household within Kemsing in September 2018. 1750 surveys were distributed with 342 surveys being returned, representing a 20% response rate. Analysis of the returned survey forms identified that 87% of respondents are owner occupiers. 71% of respondents have lived in the parish for over 10 years. High property prices and a predominance of privately owned homes means that some local people are unable to afford a home within the parish.

Future Changes 13 11. Design 14 Appendix 16 2 3 This Village Design Statement is an update of that produced in 2004 at the request of Seal Parish Council. This update reflects changes in planning guidance and the environment as well as the views of residents of Seal as expressed in their responses to a questionnaire in September 2010. This Statement covers Seal Ward - that is, the centre of the village, the housing areas along Childsbridge Lane to the north, and the surrounding countryside west as far as the Sevenoaks boundary one way, and east towards Seal Chart the other way. To the south it covers the eastern end of the Wildernesse Estate, and the separate hamlet of Godden Green. Village Design Statements (VDSs) are intended to give local people a chance to say how they want their communities to look in the future. They have to be prepared in conformity with the Core Strategy of the Local Development Framework (in our case, the Sevenoaks District Core Strategy, adopted by the SDC in February 2011). Their purpose is to elaborate those plans in the detail required for local application. Once agreed by the local residents and endorsed by the Parish and the District Councils, they have the legal status of Supplementary Planning Guidance.
