    Minutes GOUDHURST PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN GROUP Steering Committee (SC) Meeting # 06 Monday March 6, 2017 7.45 pm Present: Anthony Harris(AH), John Leavens(JL), Barbara Stafford (BS), Victoria Aldwinkle (VA), Colin Willis (CW), Craig Broom (CB), Richard Hillier (RH), Susan Newsam (SN), Alan Foster (AF), Jo Hinde (JH) Victoria Aldwinkle (VA), Peter Rolington (PR). 1. Apologies Ed Bates (EB), Linda Hall (LH), Jim Boot (JB), John Leavens (JL), Peter Rollington (PR) 2. A Developer’s View Dave Hugget (DH) (Persimon Homes) provided the group with a view of Goudhurst from the perspective of a major housebuilder. Dave noted that NDP’s were becoming more commonplace and developers were becoming more actively involved in the consultation phase of the NDP process and challenging where necessary. NDPs sit below local and national plans and NDP alignment with wider plans is the principal area of challenge. Another area is EU directives for example ecology, SSI’s etc. TWBC have historically seen Tunbridge Wells and Paddock Wood taking the majority of development with previous plans allocating only 360 new houses across all villages. Although numbers were now larger DH was of the view that the overall proportions would not dramatically change. DH felt that the geography, surroundings etc. of Goudhurst and TWBC’s historic view of the village would not make it a viable centre for development (Cranbrook is our local Rural Centre) and that, as a consequence, the major housebuilders were unlikely to target Goudhurst for development. DH emphasised that the NDP should deliver Positive Planning and understanding how development could be assessed (criteria) and supported - for example in the allocation of sites.

It merely offers one possible interpretation of the landscape features in the absence of an unequivocal modern context. More so, this review is not presented as an academic paper nor implied as such. The views expressed are the authors own and subject to broad interpretation. All research & photos ©N T Stapple unless otherwise stated. Introduction Preliminary research began back in 2017 at two areas of interest in Rusthall. The author became intrigued be an isolated sandstone outcrop close to the junction of Rusthall Road and Langton Road, near the house known as ‘Dingly Dell’. Surviving in a heavily modified post medieval landscape, its presence, in the modern landscape, seemed unusual. Measuring approximately 5m x 1.5m x 1m, above ground, it showed clear evidence of being quarried. Given its form and size the author postulated that it may have in fact been the remains of a former standing stone, preserved in antiquity. This hypothesis was later backed up by confirmation of a large pit found at the western end of the stone and visible as a parch mark in 2018. [Fig 1.]. This was thought to be a ‘slot’ for the ‘standing’ stone. Figure 1: Rusthall 'Standing Stone' - Summer 2018 Information regarding the stone had previously been presented to Kent County Council (KCC) representatives and the stone is documented in several of the authors earlier reviews of on-going research.

  • Estate Development and the Beginnings of Modern Tunbridge Wells,1800-40
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND THE BEGINNINGS OF MODERN TUNBRIDGE WELLS, 1800-40 C.W. CHALKLIN The modern town of Tunbridge Wells began in the early nineteenth century. In 1835, some local governing powers were given to the town for the first time, under an act for 'lighting, watching, cleansing, regulating and otherwise improving the town;' previously it had been administered as part of the large parish of Tonbridge. Amenities included two waterworks and a gasworks; two churches and four chapels were built, and a separate ecclesiastical district created out of Tonbridge parish. The population grew rapidly. There were probably no more than 1200 inhabitants in 1800; in 1831, there were 5929 and 8302 in 1841. By then, Tunbridge Wells had surpassed in size most of the inland Kentish market towns: Tonbridge (about 3000 people), Dartford, Sevenoaks, Cranbrook, Ashford and Tenterden; only the regional centres of Canterbury and Maidstone were larger. Its livelihood was, however, gained in a different way, as an inland spa. It had originated in the seventeenth century as a health resort, where water of medicinal value could be drunk, and place of entertainment in a rural setting for summer visitors, principally from London, and these remained important to its economy. The special characteristic of the early nineteenth century was the emergence of a large class of leisured residents. According to the 1841 census, there were 539 heads of households who had no occupation: these were spinsters or widowed gentlewomen, retired soldiers, professional or businessmen, with one or two noblemen.
