This is one of the documents identified in the Council's Local Development Framework (LDF), Core Strategy (adopted 2010) and Local Development Scheme (LDS). 1.2 The Council has already prepared and adopted a long-term strategy document, called the Core Strategy (2010), which sets out how much development of each main type will take place and broadly where it will go. The main purpose of this Site Allocations document is to allocate land for housing, employment, retail and other land uses to meet the needs of the communities within Tunbridge Wells Borough to 2026 and beyond, following the strategic objectives and sustainable development objectives as set out within the Core Strategy. The document also identifies areas requiring continued protection from development. 1.3 The DPD has been written in accordance with the adopted Core Strategy and its approach to settlement growth and identifies specific sites where it is proposed that new homes, employment and retailing and, where appropriate, supporting community facilities, should be built. When adopted, this DPD will illustrate the location and extent of the allocated land on a Proposals Map and provide guidance on how the sites should be developed. The site selection process followed in the making of these preferred allocations has been guided by the methodology detailed in Chapter 2. Structure of the Document 1.4 This site allocations consultation identifies the Council's preferred locations for development within the main settlements of Royal Tunbridge Wells and Southborough, Paddock Wood, Cranbrook and Hawkhurst (1) and within the Villages and Rural Areas, together with identifying the impact on the Green Belt and Rural Fringe areas. Outside these settlements, no site allocations are proposed other than bringing forward some existing Local Plan allocations. 1.5 The structure of the document is set out below. 1 Introduction Methodology and Methodology underlying site selection and overall levels of development and strategic 2 Strategy borough-wide policies. Royal Tunbridge Wells Proposals for sites inside the Limits to Built Development (LBD) of Royal Tunbridge and Southborough Wells and Southborough. This chapter also contains proposals for sites immediately 3 adjacent to the LBD of Royal Tunbridge Wells, but does not include Green Belt or Rural Fringe sites. This chapter should be read in conjunction with Chapter 4: Green Belt and Rural Fringe. Green Belt and Rural Proposals for the Rural Fringe and sites within the Green Belt surrounding Royal 4 Fringe Tunbridge Wells and Southborough. Proposals for Royal Tunbridge Wells and Southborough should be read in conjunction with the policies set out in this chapter. 5 Paddock Wood Proposals for sites inside and adjoining the LBD of Paddock Wood. 6 Cranbrook Proposals for sites inside and adjoining the LBD of Cranbrook.

  • The Gibb Report – an Assessment
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM PRESTIGE LECTURE 3rd October 2017 The Gibb Report – An Assessment by Piers Connor1 Background to the Gibb Report In September 2014, a new company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), was given the contract to run train services operated over the Thameslink, Great Northern, Gatwick Express and Southern Railway. In the year leading up to the summer of 2016, the performance of the Southern Railway, the part of the Govia Thameslink Railway covering the suburban and south coast services between London and a large section of the southern coast of England, deteriorated to a level where passenger dissatisfaction was leading to public demonstrations and persistent media criticism. Eventually, the government was forced to act and they decided to commission a review of Southern and its service performance. The result was the Gibb Report2. to the West Midlands, North West and Scotland to Bedford Milton Keynes Central Bletchley Leighton Buzzard Tring SERVICES AND FACILITIES Berkhamsted London Cannon Street Hemel Hempstead This is a general guide to the basic daily services.

These sites will accommodate the growth needed to ensure that our Borough remains a vibrant and prosperous place to live in the future and which provides homes and employment opportunities, shopping and community facilities for today and for the future. Our Borough has distinctive characteristics which we need to ensure are maintained, within Tunbridge Wells and the smaller towns and villages and we have an exceptional rural environment with Green Belt and a large Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty making this a very special place to live and work. Despite this being a difficult economic climate we have to look forward and plan for the future, tempering that with realism. We need to balance the need for growth with ensuring that we protect our environment too, both the natural and historic and at times there will be conflict as we need to balance the needs of all sectors of our community in a sustainable way.

  • What Is a Local Plan?
    1 Introduction What is a Local Plan? 1.1 As the name implies, a Local Plan is a locally-based land use document. It looks ahead ten years and makes provision for both change and the conservation of the best features of the locality. 1.2 In essence, the Local Plan, which should be in general conformity with the approved Kent Structure Plan, has two main functions: • to set out the Local Planning Authority’s policies for the control of development; and • to make proposals for the development and use of land and to allocate land for specific purposes. The Local Plan Process 1.3 The Local Planning Authority consulted on “2000+ Local Plan Review 2001 to 2011” in October 1998. The “2000+” document sets out the key planning issues for the Borough during the next decade and suggested policy directions. Following the receipt of comments on “2000+”; further research and revised Government guidance, the Tunbridge Wells Borough Local Plan Review – Deposit Copy was has been produced. Following public consultation, and consequent revisions, a Second Deposit has been published. The revisions are highlighted by vertical lines in the margin. Deleted text is crossed through, whilst additional text is underlined.The deposit period will commence in August 2001. 1.4 The statutory six-week deposit period is the only period during which the Borough Council can receive support for, or objections to, the Local Plan Review – Second Deposit Copy. All comments will be assessed and the Borough Council may then amend the Deposit Copy. This will be in the form of a Second Deposit Copy, when any Any interested person is will be able to comment on the amendments to amended parts of the Plan only.
