  • Mole Valley Local Development Framework
    Appendix A Sevenoaks District Local Development Framework The Future of Sevenoaks District Local Plan Policies beyond September 2007 The Sevenoaks District Local Plan was adopted in March 2000. All the policies in the Sevenoaks District Local Plan were saved for a period of three years from the commencement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act on 28th September 2004 until 27th September 2007. No Local Plan policies will be replaced by policies in the Core Strategy or other new Development Plan Documents before 27th September 2007. The Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) issued a protocol for saving adopted Local Plan policies beyond the initial three-year saved period in August 2006. It sets out the criteria that Local Plan policies must meet if they are to have their life extended beyond September 2007. The Council must submit a list of all those Local Plan policies that it wishes to extend and those it does not wish to save, with reasons, to the Secretary of State, through the Government Office for the South East (GOSE), by 1st April 2007. The following two tables list all the Sevenoaks District Local Plan policies. The first table lists those saved Sevenoaks District Local Plan policies that the Council wishes to continue to use beyond September 2007, together with reasons. The second table lists those saved Local Plan policies that the Council does not wish to save beyond September 2007 with reasons.

HON. PATRICK JENKIN MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 1. At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.
