Luke 12:32 ‘ - 2 - How long have we been waiting for these moments of ‘unlocking’, giving us access to family, friends, eating out, shopping and well, shards of light into a more ‘normal’ world? Curiously lockdown time seems both long and short, so much so that the reversion to ‘normality’ almost appears strange and ‘abnormal’ – an adventure into the unknown. This feeling seems highly topical as May is a month of ‘strange’ biblical events with Ascension Day and Pentecost, both occasions which must have been both alarming and disconcerting for people at the time. However, those events were also joyful celebrations as indeed is our unlocking. So read on with pleasure to discover that May is going to be a month of joy and delight!

Gavelkind. or partible inheritance, encouraged people to stay in their native places to work their own land but also to develop other trades to supplement their incomes. Tenants who became tanners took advantage of local cattle herds, plentiful local water and extensive oak woods, which yielded bark to make tannin, the essential ingredient for making leather. Little physical evidence of the Wrotham tanneries survives. Their existence, and that of the tanners who worked them in the fifteenth a n d sixteenth centuries, has been pieced together from documentary sources most of which were found in the Centre for Kentish Studies.

  • Local Plan DRAFT
    ANNEX 1 Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council Local Plan DRAFT Regulation 19 Pre-Submission Publication June 2018 Foreword The Borough of Tonbridge and Malling is a diverse and characterful place. It includes areas of recent development and growth together with historic environments. Its geography is varied and the physical characteristics have and will continue to reflect patterns of land use and activity. It is a place where traditional and modern businesses thrive, where established and new communities have flourished but where pressures on community facilities, transport infrastructure and the environment are challenging. The Borough Council, working with a wide range of partners, have embraced the benefit of strategic planning over decades. That has been beneficial in shaping development and properly addressing needs for homes, jobs and supporting facilities in a planned way. Moving forward the continuation of that approach is ever more challenging, but in providing a sustainable and planned approach to our borough and providing for local needs this Plan takes on that challenge. This Local Plan relates closely to the borough and communities it will serve. It reflects national planning policy and shapes that locally, based on what is seen locally as the most important planning issues taking account of locally derived evidence. It is designed as a plan that is responsible in facing up to difficult choices and one which is based upon fostering care in the way we plan for this and future generations of Tonbridge and Malling. It provides a sound basis on which to judge planning applications, achieve investment and provide confidence about future development and future preservation where both are appropriate.
