HON. PATRICK JENKIN MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 1. At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

The investigations revealed signs of a human presence as early as the Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic period, with further occupation in later prehistory, though few features pre-dating the Roman occupation were identified. Although there was a little evidence for activity in the early Roman period the most extensive and significant phase of occupation of the site was during the 3rd and 4th centuries when a small settlement was established, apparently over part of an earlier field system. The core of the settlement however, lay beyond the area of investigation and therefore it was difficult to ascertain its likely extent and function, though it was probably part of a complex network of small agricultural settlements that occupied much of the Darent Valley and areas beyond during the Roman period.

  • A Community Vision for Hartley
    A Community Vision for Hartley March 2018 2 A Vision - Hartley Urban Extension A Community Vision for Hartley Prepared by DHA Planning on behalf of Billings Group, the Leigh Academies Trust and Chapel Wood Enterprises. March 2018 A Community Vision for Hartley This submission is made to Sevenoaks District Council in support of a proposed expansion to Hartley and Longfield, in order to assist with the Council’s projected housing need for the emerging Local Plan. The Council have identified a need for at least 12,400 houses in Sevenoaks District between 2013 - 2033 (an annualised target of 620 dwellings per annum). There is therefore a need for the Council to assess the most sustainable forms of development to meet this housing need – through the process of a robust Sustainability Appraisal process – and this document seeks to provide the Council will the necessary information to fully appraise the site, and also to compare to other, perhaps less sustainable options put forward. We believe this site is located within a sustainable location, adjoining the existing settlements, outside of the AONB which has a good level of services and infrastructure. What is also of note is that this proposal would allow for the enhancement of this existing provision and also a number of additional community benefits, which would not otherwise come forward as a result of the other or disbursed development. These benefits include: • The provision of a new 3FE Primary and SEN Academy (to replace and enhance the existing Hartley primary school offer) in agreement
