  • Baldwins Green Conservation Area Appraisal
    Baldwins Green Conservation Area Appraisal SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE December 2003 Baldwins Green Conservation Area Appraisal The historic environment is a social asset of immense value and one of the keys to the continuing prosperity of Sevenoaks District. Conservation Area Appraisals are part of the process of ensuring that we make the best use of our historic environment. They are tools for the positive management of change, not a means of preventing development. Conservation is focused on the entire historic environment, not just listed buildings. Trees, open spaces, buildings, uses, roads and streets all contribute to the character and local distinctiveness of the District’s conservation areas. The man-made environment of our conservation areas has used energy and materials moulded by people both past and present. The District Council will creatively manage the fabric of these areas in a sustainable way as a legacy for future generations. It is intended that this appraisal will inform the activities of the Council, the public and other bodies where these impact on the conservation area. This appraisal was approved by the District Council in December 2003 and adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance. Sevenoaks District Council is not liable for any loss or damage, however sustained by others arising from the contents of this document. This document must not be reproduced in whole or in part without prior written permission from the Council. © Sevenoaks District Council, December 2003 Published by Sevenoaks District Council

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    The Landscape Assessment of Kent October 2004 Prepared for Kent County Council by Jacobs Babtie Kent County Council Invicta House County Hall Maidstone Kent ME14 1XX Tel: 01622 221537 Jacobs Babtie Miller House Lower Stone Street Maidstone Kent ME15 6GB Tel: 01622 666000 Produced with the financial support of the European Regional Development Fund Front cover photograph courtesy of Jason Mitchell EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kentish landscape has evolved over many hundreds of years. It has been created by the interaction of the natural environment and human activities, in particular the combination of physical, biological and cultural influences. Physical influences such as geology and landform, together with the overlying pattern of settlement and land use are key determinants of landscape character. The Landscape Assessment of Kent is a landscape character based study that draws together existing landscape character assessments of the county and updates them to conform to the current guidance. Additional work on the condition and sensitivity of the Kent landscape has been used to formulate character-based strategies to ensure the continued distinctiveness of the Kent landscape. It is intended that the Landscape Assessment of Kent will be used in a variety of forward planning strategies, in land management schemes and in planning control. The objective is to ensure that decisions on the rural landscape are underpinned by a robust and widely accepted assessment of the landscape character. The challenge is to find ways of identifying the important characteristics of the landscape that assist the process of accommodating change, where this is both desirable and practicable, whilst maintaining the links with the past and the natural environment.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • Reasons-For-Closure-Swanley
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Swanley branch is closing on Thursday 4 November 2021 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank. This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Swanley branch is closing: • The number of counter transactions has gone down in the two years to March 2020, and additionally 82% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 14% since 2015 • In the past 12 months, 30% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches • We’ve identified that only 200 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch over the phone on 0345 7 345 345², or with Paul Turpin, your Market Director for South East London.

  • Maxine Fothergill – District Councillors Annual Report Fawkham and West Kingsdown Ward
    Maxine Fothergill – District Councillors annual report Fawkham and West Kingsdown Ward Firstly I would again, sincerely like to thank all residents for providing your trust and faith in me, by electing me as your ward councillor from May 2019 to May 2023. It has been a very interesting year to date, after originally coming from the Bexley area, where I had formally been a Borough Councillor for 8 years. In a London Borough, decisions are made by the main administration and also directly funded. However, here in Sevenoaks District Council we are a 3 tier system with KCC as the overarching Council, having the majority of funding for all major items, then SDC who deal with all local issues including weekly refuse collections and then of course, the Parish Councils, which is where all the local work really does take place and rightly so, as the Parish Council has the full and in-depth understanding of the needs of our local residents. As many of you will know, I got very involved when the proposed development plans were announced and after coming to live in the beautiful village of Fawkham; surrounded by acres of green belt and ancient woodland, with only 221 homes and less than 500 residents, the last thing I wanted to see was the desecration of our quaint little hamlet and hence why I stood to represent you at last year’s local elections. This past year has been very interesting. I personally had attended practically every West Kingsdown Parish Council meeting in my District Councillor capacity, to ensure I am fully aware of all local issues and being a member of Fawkham Parish Council, I have naturally attended the majority of meetings, (with the exception of one meeting when I was on a sponsored charity sleep out on behalf of Centrepoint, where I am delighted to advise, I raised over £900 for homeless young people, in order to help them get a roof over their heads and rebuild their lives).
