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. -

As populations and lifestyles change, so GI must alter to ensure that such changes are sustainable. This increasingly results in the use of space for more than a single purpose, and a key feature of GI is multi-functionality: Whether in a city: Beehives on Lloyds Building, London, producing honey from city gardens and trees. © www.urbanbees.co.uk Or in the countryside: The White Cliffs of Dover support rare wildlife and provide clean drinking water as well as a place for healthy recreation Dover District Council 4 Green Infrastructure Strategy January 2014 The Council is committed to a high growth agenda to stimulate regeneration, and this has sharpened the focus on GI. In order to respond to the Council’s growth agenda while maintaining compliance with sustainable development, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient new provision of GI and protection of the existing assets. -
