New Bus Services for West Kingsdown In response to requests from residents for improvements to the local bus service Kent County Council will be making major changes to the bus services in West Kingsdown from Sunday 10th May, (first day of operation being Monday 11th May). Route 427 (West Kingsdown – Swanley/Dartford) service currently operated by Kent Top Travel will be replaced by new service 419 which will provide a new direct service between West Kingsdown and Darent Valley Hospital via Swanley and Dartford. The 419 will operate Mon – Fri on a two hourly basis. The Saturday service between West Kingsdown and Swanley will be provided by new service 408. The current two return journeys between West Kingsdown and Dartford on Saturdays operated by the 427 will no longer run, however the new 408 service is timed to connect with Arriva’s 477 services at Swanley for passengers travelling on to Dartford. Griffin Bus will operate the 419 on contract to Kent County Council. New service 408 will provide a direct service between Swanley and Borough Green via West Kingsdown, operating Mon – Sat on a two hourly basis. Griffin Bus will operate the 408 on contract to Kent County Council. School bus route 318 (Istead Rise – Wrotham) currently operated by Griffin Bus will be renumbered 418 and will be operated by Griffin Bus on a commercial basis. Route 407 (New Ash Green –Wildernesse School, schooldays only) will continue to be operated by Griffin Bus on commercial basis. Peak hour route K2 (Hextable – Crockenhill) currently operated by Kent Top Travel will be renumbered the 409 and will be operated by Griffin Bus on contract to Kent County Council. Route 422 (East Hill – Gravesend, Thursdays only) currently operated by Kent Top Travel will be operated by Nu – Venture, (first day of operation being Thursday 14th May) on contract to Kent County Council. Route 405 (Sevenoaks – West Kingsdown, Wednesdays only) currently operated by New Enterprise on contract to Kent County Council will remain unchanged. As a result of these changes West Kingsdown residents will now see an increase in the level of service with an hourly service between West Kingsdown and Swanley Mon – Fri, instead of the currently two hourly service during the day. The new services will also provide direct services to both Dartford and Darent Valley Hospital and a new direct service to Wrotham and Borough Green, which will allow for onward bus connections to Lunsford Park, Tonbridge, Gravesend and Sevenoaks. Kent County Council is in the process of producing a new timetable guide to coincide with the changes to the bus services in West Kingsdown. This will be distributed to the regular outlets prior to the commencement of the new services. For further details of these changes please contract Transport Integration: 01622 605095 [email protected] .

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.

Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations : Consultation Document
Review of polling districts, polling places and polling stations : Consultation document Introduction All district councils are required to complete a review of polling districts and polling places every five years, ahead of scheduled Parliamentary General Elections. This particular review must, by law, be completed by 31 January 2020, although best practice dictates it should be concluded, where practicable, in advance of the publication of the next revised Register of Electors on 1 December 2019 to enable any changes to take effect from that date. The purpose of the review is to ensure electors are given “such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances.” As part of the statutory review, contributions from the (Acting) Returning Officers for the Parliamentary Constituencies that represent the district should be sought. As such, Sevenoaks District Council has consulted with the (Acting) Returning Officers for the Dartford, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge & Malling constituencies, and their contributions are included within this consultation document. This consultation document contains an assessment of existing and proposed polling districts and polling places within the district. Commenting on the proposed recommendations We welcome the views of all residents, particularly disabled residents, or any person or body with expertise in access for persons with any type of disability, on the proposals within this consultation document. Anyone making representations should, if relevant, give alternative places that may be used as polling places. The consultation period runs from 31 July 2019 to 1 October 2019. Any changes are expected to take effect from the publication of the new Register of Electors on 1 December 2019.
