SITE ASSESSMENT: CALL for SITES Page 97 SITE ASSESSMENT: CALL FOR SITES SHLAA SITE REF. SITE NAME: PARISH/SETTLEMENT: 18/005 Land Rear of The Street and Hempstead Bapchild Lane Site Assessment Current/Previous Countryside Gross Site 3.8 Use: Area (ha): Site Type: Greenfield Developable 0 Area (ha): Site Description: The site is situated within the Parish of Bapchild but is partly within partly adjacent to the built-up area boundary of the main village. It leads out onto the A2 with Teynham approximately 2.68km to the east and Sittingbourne town centre around the same distance to the west. Away from the village, the immediate surroundings are mainly agricultural land/open countryside although the railway line is to the north. Part of the site has been used as a plant nursery. Suitability: The site is a Local Green Space and is therefore subject to a high level constraint. The site is therefore considered to be unsuitable. Availability: The landowner has promoted the site through the ‘call for sites’ exercise and there is no record of any unimplemented permissions. The site is considered to be available. Achievability: Subject to further consideration of any utility/infrastructure requirements, there is a reasonable prospect that the site could be developed over a certain period of time. The site is considered to be achievable.

SITE NAME: PARISH/SETTLEMENT: 18/010 Land at Cellar Hill Teynham Site Assessment Current/Previous Shrubland Gross Site 0.57 Use: Area (ha): Site Type: Greenfield Developable 0.57 Area (ha): Site Description: The site is situated within the Parish of Lynsted with Kingsdown but is adjacent to the built-up area boundary of Teynham, a local service centre. Sittingbourne town centre is some 5.47km to the west and Faversham town centre is 7.11km to the east. To the north of the site is a linear strip of residential development leading to the main village and the A2. Otherwise the site is surrounded by more sporadic development opening up into countryside and agricultural land. The site is very slightly covered by a minerals safeguarding area. It is in a conservation area and there are a number of listed buildings in the area. Suitability: The site is not subject to any high level constraints and is adjacent to the settlement confines of Teynham. It is within a reasonable walking distance of a GP’s surgery, a primary school, a convenience store, open space and a village hall. The nearby allocation at Station Road will also provide further open space. Local employment opportunities are limited to those services and facilities provided within the village. Onwards travel to Sittingbourne and Faversham would be required to meet the full range of necessary facilities and services. However, there are bus stops very close to the site which are well serviced to the towns and the train station such that there would not be an overall over reliance on the car. Taking the above into account, the site is considered to be in a sustainable location which is suitable for residential development. Availability: The landowner has promoted the site through the ‘call for sites’ exercise and there is no record of any unimplemented permissions. The site is considered to be available. Achievability: Page 105 Subject to further consideration of any utility/infrastructure requirements, there is a reasonable prospect that the site could be developed over a certain period of time.

SITE NAME: PARISH/SETTLEMENT: 18/016 Land Rear of Bramblefield Road Sittingbourne Site Assessment Current/Previous Former orchard Gross Site 0.87 Use: Area (ha): Site Type: Greenfield Developable 0.87 Area (ha): Site Description: The site is situated within the defined settlement boundary of Sittingbourne, to the northwest of the town, adjacent to the existing local plan allocation, Northwest Sittingbourne. It is close to the Grovehurst Road junction with the A249 and will be surrounded by residential development on all sides pending the successful completion of the existing allocation. The main town centre is 3.65km to the south. The site falls within a minerals safeguarding area. Suitability: The site is not subject to any high level constraints and falls within an existing settlement boundary. It is within reasonable walking distance of a convenience store, GP’s surgery (and pharmacy), open space and a primary school. For the wider range of services and facilities and employment opportunities, travel further afield into the town and beyond would be required. However, there is also a train station and well services bus stops close to the site, and the local roads are cyclable. The site is therefore considered to be in a sustainable location which is suitable for residential development. Availability: The landowner has promoted the site through the ‘call for sites’ exercise and there is no record of any unimplemented permissions. There is a planning application for the development of the site currently pending consideration. The site is considered to be available. Achievability: Page 117 Subject to further consideration of any utility/infrastructure requirements, there is a reasonable prospect that the site could be developed over a certain period of time.

SITE NAME: PARISH/SETTLEMENT: 18/019 Syndale Park, London Road Ospringe Site Assessment Current/Previous Leisure Gross Site 3.5 Use: Area (ha): Site Type: Brownfield Developable 0 Area (ha): Site Description: The site is within the Ospringe area but is separated from the built-up area boundary of Ospringe/Faversham by around 0.9km. Faversham is to the north west, the town centre being some 2.73km away, and the A2 runs to the north of the site. It is surrounded by primarily open countryside and agricultural land and is in a conservation area and an area of high landscape value. Suitability: The site is not subject to any high level constraints, but is separated from any existing settlement boundary. It is not within a reasonable walking distance of any day to day services and facilities with very limited employment opportunities in the immediate vicinity. Either way, the site fronts onto the busy A2 and would require crossing over onto a narrow footpath. It would unlikely be attractive for pedestrians. There is a bus stop close to the site, but again, in area which is not necessarily pedestrian friendly. In the absence of any other sustainable features, the site is considered to be in an unsustainable location which is not suitable for residential development. Availability: The landowner has promoted the site through the ‘call for sites’ exercise. There have been unimplemented permissions at the site, although a preference has now been made clear for the proposal submitted. The site is considered to be available. Achievability: Subject to further consideration of any utility/infrastructure requirements, there is a reasonable prospect that the site could be developed over a certain period of time. The site is considered to be achievable.

To the north and east is residential development, with open countryside/agricultural land to the east and south. The town centre is approximately 1.65km to the northwest. The site is partly covered by a minerals safeguarding area and is also within an area of high landscape value (Kent level). Suitability: The site is not subject to any high level constraints. It is within a reasonable walking distance of a primary school, a walk-in medical centre, a convenience store and open space. Being on the edge of the town, the higher order of services and facilities, a range of employment opportunities and a train station, although not within a walkable distance, are not far away. There are bus stops very close to the site which are well serviced into the town and towards the train station. Cycling is a possibility throughout the town. Taking the above into account, the site is considered to be in a sustainable location which is suitable for residential development. Availability: The landowner has promoted the site through the ‘call for sites’ exercise and there is no record of any unimplemented permissions. The site is considered to be available.

  • Two Kentish Hospitals Re-Examined: S. Mary, Ospringe, and Ss. Stephen and Thomas, New Romney*
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 79 1964 TWO KENTISH HOSPITALS RE-EXAMINED: S. MARY, OSPRINGE, AND SS. STEPHEN AND THOMAS, NEW ROMNEY* By S. E. RIGOLD, F.S.A. THE hospitals here considered were both products of the great age of medieval hospital-founding, in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. From that age fifteen out of the twenty-five known hospitals in Kent originate, five being earlier and five later. Perhaps more than any other of these (except the unfortunate house of Sweynester in Sittingbourne), these two were unable to adapt themselves to the changing conditions of the fourteenth century, yet they differed widely in purpose and status: Ospringe had royal patronage and performed several of the various functions later assigned to more specialized institutions that have inherited the name of hospital; Romney was of comparatively humble foundation and solely a refuge for lepers. Both houses have already been the subjects of detailed studies in Archceologia Cantiana, since when it has been part of the writer's official duty to investigate their physical remains and he has taken the oppor- tunity to submit the limited, documentary evidence, as it were, to a second pressing. It is this, rather than any attempt to test the relevance of two such divergent samples to the general problem of the social history of the medieval hospital, that is the reason for considering them together here. THE HOSPITAL OF ST. MARY OF OSPRINGE, COMMONLY CALLED MAISON DIETT The late Charles H. Drake published a valuable paper on this house in Arch. Cant., xxx (1913), pp.

  • Syndale Valley Walk • Earth, Wind and Water Protect Plants and Animals, and Take Your Litter Home
    PEACE, SOLITUDE: Syndale A RURAL WAY OF LIFE Valley Walk faversham.org/walking NEWNHAM – EASTLING – STALISFIELD – DODDINGTON Peace, solitude: a rural way of life “Enchant, stay Escape to a land that time forgot, where farming, food and rural traditions remain the cornerstones of community life among the beautiful and graceful, unspoilt and picturesque scenery of the Syndale Valley. but do this, eat well” Running through the mid Kent Downs – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the chalk valley remains one of the few Charles Pierre Monselet timeless landscapes in this busy corner of Kent. Not without its own share of historic highlights and notoriety, your walk begins in the ancient settlement of Newnham, nestled in the Syndale Valley since at least the 12th century. Here the Romans grew grapes and James Pimm was born – creator of one of Britain’s best-loved summer drinks, the eponymous Pimms. The Revd. Granville Wheler proved the existence of electric current in 1725 at Otterden Place – just one of the grand homes that pepper your path as you make your way through ancient woods, working farmland and historic grazing pastures. Many of the woods on your route are still hunted by wildfowlers who sell their game to local butchers and restaurants, while others support the rural craft of coppicing - common in this area. Traditional coppicing of sweet chestnut shoots for fence stakes extends the life of the trees and floods the woodland floor with light in spring and summer, promoting an abundance of flowers and food for wildlife. As you pass back into sweeping open fields you may see kestrels and other birds of prey.

  • Brogdale Place Application SW 13 1567
    Ms Tracy Day 11February 2014 Swale Borough Council Swale House East Street Sittingbourne Kent, ME10 3HT Dear Ms Day Planning Application SW/13/1567 – Land opposite Greenways, Brogdale Road, Faversham I apologise for the lateness of this letter, but trust it is still in time for your consideration. As you will know, CPRE Protect Kent is the Kent Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England which is part of the national CPRE charity. It is our objective to retain and promote a beautiful and thriving countryside that is valued by everyone and we believe the planning system should protect and enhance the countryside in the public interest for the important contribution it makes to peoples’ physical and mental wellbeing, as well as its vital role in feeding the nation. It is our position that local planning authorities should seek to ensure that the impact of development on the countryside, both directly and indirectly, is kept to a minimum and that development is sustainable in accordance with national planning policy. We have looked very closely at this application and the supporting documentation, and we are familiar with the site. For the reasons we explain in this letter we consider that the application should be refused permission. Introduction Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires planning applications to be determined in accordance with the Development Plan unless other material planning considerations indicate that a different decision should be made. This plan-led approach to development is endorsed and enshrined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF - e.g.

As I we dug more deeply, we discovered how such events have touched on the lives of local people in and around the Parish. The story really begins with our thanks to the generosity of many families who have shared with us their images, stories and documents to add to our on-going Heritage Project. The sub-group has added some further research, to help us understand what the conditions were like in our Parish as ‘royal celebrations’ became honoured locally right up to the modern day.
