Routeways Introduction
Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan Evidence: Routeways Introduction Tenterden is blessed with an extraordinary heritage of footpaths and ancient roadways connecting the town with its landscape and history. These routeways are a unique asset for the community as well as being an attraction for visitors to the Parish. Tenterden is also a nodal centre for routes radiating to Rolvenden and Hastings (A28), Wittersham and Rye (B2080), Woodchurch (B2067), and Ashford and Maidstone (A28/A262). There are already many policy statements at national and local level relating to routeways, and Public Rights of Way (PROW) benefit from statutory protection. This paper summarises the policy background and analyses existing PROW and historic routeways in order to highlight opportunities to develop Neighbourhood Plan policies to address local requirements and for potential projects (including investment) to protect and enhance our routeways. Some of the evidence gathered in respect of routeways has been used to support the development of policy in other workstreams of the Neighbourhood Plan. This document, therefore, also provides wider contextual evidence in support of those proposed policies. 2 Routeways | Tenterden Neighbourhood Development Plan Routeways | Tenterden Neighbourhood Development Plan 3 Methodology A Routeways Working Group was formed to assist the Steering Committee in preparing the Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan. This dedicated group of volunteers has reviewed relevant parts of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the Ashford Local Plan, 2030 (ALP), the AONB Management Plan 2019-2024 and High Weald Housing Design Guide, 2019 and the Sustrans Kent Town Audit of Tenterden, 2018. Members of the group have walked and documented the principal PROWs and in particular those that connect to the High Street.

Presentation to Tenterden Town Council December 2020
Presentation to Tenterden Town Council December 2020 01/12/2020 Chair’s Foreword Those of us who volunteered in 2018 to join a Steering Group to help Tenterden produce a Neighbourhood Plan did so because we felt great affection for the area in which we live, and were concerned for its future, whether born here or one of the many who have chosen to live here because of its’ unique mixture of qualities and it is clear from our subsequent community consultations and surveys that many residents value this too. It is the local community’s views and aspirations which must drive the Neighbourhood Plan, so we have a firm basis for the plan as proposed. Several factors have confirmed the need to get a plan completed swiftly, including the implications of the Planning White Paper and the threat of unsustainable development leading to the erosion of our rich, biodiverse ‘green lungs’ critical to the health and well being of our community. Following a huge amount of evidence gathering and public engagement, we are at a critical stage in the Plan, the crafting of the draft document, with the aim to reach Reg 14 by March 2021, when the document gains legal status in determining planning applications. This will require a tremendous effort by all, but I am confident that with such a skilled and determined team that we will reach our goal for the benefit of generations to come.
