  • 1.1 Ashford Borough Council (ABC); Kent County Council (KCC) Q
    Application by Highways England for an order granting development consent for the proposed M20 Junction 10a. TR01006. Ashford Borough Council’s response to Written Questions. 1.1 Ashford Borough Q Having regard to the criteria listed in para 1.2 of the NPSNN, is there any reason why the Council (ABC); Kent proposed development should not be determined in accordance with the NPSNN County Council (KCC) ABC Answer Ashford Borough Council (ABC) is not aware of any reason why the proposed development should not be determined in accordance with the criteria in paragraph 1.2 of the National Policy Statement for National Networks (NSNN), provided HE addresses the issues ABC raised through it’s relevant representations. 1.2 Applicant; ABC; KCC Q To what extent would the proposed development deliver the objectives of NPSNN to increase the capacity and improve the performance of the Strategic Road Network? ABC Answer Based on the documentation submitted by HE, ABC considers the development will deliver much needed additional capacity and will improve the performance of the Strategic Road Network. The South of Ashford Transport Study (1999) highlighted that the limited available capacity at the existing M20 Junction10 would mean that some development proposals in the then emerging Borough Local Plan 2000 would be unable to be built out unless a new 'Junction10a' could be provided. The council's current adopted development plan - the Core Strategy (2008) and Urban Sites and Infrastructure DPD (2012) place significant weight on the need for Junction10a to be delivered in order for allocated sites to be built out.

    Ashford Community Woodland GroupADD Kent, England The Research Agency of the A voluntary community group creating and managing a medium sized (15 hectare)Forestry peri Commission-urban woodland on Local Authority land to maintain local landscape and conservation values Ashford Community Woodland Group This case study is one of a set written as part of a Forest Research project. Some case studies are written by the community group, others by researchers who visited and interviewed group members, but they have all been validated and endorsed by the community groups. Forest Research developed a standard method for describing the case studies, outlined in Lawrence and Ambrose-Oji, 2013 “A framework for sharing experiences of community woodland groups” Forestry Commission Research Note 15 (available from www.forestry.gov.uk/publications). The case study comprises three parts: 1. The Group Profile provides essential information about the form and function of the community woodland group. Profiles were prepared following the methodology 2. The Change Narrative which documents key moments in the evolution of the community woodland group with a particular focus on the evolution of engagement and empowerment 3. The Engagement and Impacts Timeline documents milestones in the development of the community woodland group, its woodland and any assumed or evidenced impacts. The case studies collectively provide a resource which documents the diversity and evolution of community woodland groups across Scotland, Wales and England. The method ensures that

This month's cover: ‘Meeting Point’ by Judy Vinson View from the Layne here’s a lot being talked about right now around the new normal and how we can preserve some of the good things that have happened during lockdown. There is T no automatic return to the old normal. Change is in the air. In church we pray for a very specific change very regularly when we pray: Thy kingdom come. The second line from the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer that echoes in the back of many minds. For Christians the prayer is part of every formal act of worship. The first thing we ask: Your kingdom, dear God on earth: but what, exactly are we asking for? The next line gives us a big clue: ‘as it is in heaven’.

    BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT THE BIDDENDEN PARISH DESIGN STATEMENT STEERING GROUP, BIDDENDEN PARISH COUNCIL c/o THE PARISH CLERK, 15 ORCHARD GLADE, HEADCORN, KENT, TN27 9SS www.biddenden.gov.uk BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT ‘Kent is a county of timber and brick, not stone, not slate and not thatch’ CLIFTON-TAYLOR, 1972 ‘New developments in and around Ashford are designed to fit naturally into the Kent vernacular and reflect the strong sense of place, characteristic of the local area. Red clay tiled roofs and walls in brick, hung tile, painted weatherboard and painted brick and render should dominate.’ ATKINS - DESIGN, ENVIRONMENT & ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS (PLANNING, LANDSCAPE & HERITAGE DEPT.) 2002 This Design Statement has been formally adopted by Ashford Borough Council as Supplementary Planning Guidance. The document expresses many views held by local people involved in its preparation. In adopting the Design Statement the Council is not necessarily supporting all of these opinions but is undertaking to take into account the ‘design guidelines’ included in the text when making planning decisions. The Council does not have sufficient powers as planning authority to require these ‘design guidelines’ to be met in all cases - the active support and commitment of developers, landowners and householders is also essential. The points noted under ‘Local Views’ reflect the views of local residents expressed during the preparation of this document, and have not been adopted by Ashford Borough Council. ©2003 The Biddenden Parish Design Statement Group No part of this document may be reproduced for any purpose without the express written permission of the Biddenden Parish Design Statement Group BIDDENDEN DESIGN STATEMENT INTRODUCTION In common with many other parishes and villages around the country, the residents of Biddenden greatly value the community in which we live and wish to protect its character and way of life.
