    Plovers Old Tree Lane | Boughton Monchelsea | Maidstone | Kent | ME17 4JG Seller Insight Before moving here ten years ago, we were living in an attached oast house in Marden but we were keen to move to detached. It just so happened that during our search we came across Plovers,” says Wendy. “It consists of an old twin roundel oast and a double barn, originally converted in 1973 to form one large dwelling, and although it was rather old fashioned when we found it, we fell in love with it right away.” “The previous architect owners had brilliantly designed and completed the original conversion and other than maintenance kept it as a 1970s period piece, complete with avocado bathroom suite, boxed up beams and spiral staircase. We could see it had huge potential and so we set about bringing it beautifully into the 21st Century. We exposed many, but not all, of the features hidden during the conversion, so it now has a more original character. Along the way, we added more contemporary fixtures and fittings in the form of new kitchen and bathrooms so there’s a lovely combination of old and new, which works extremely well.” “A feature of this house is the garden that extends to around two thirds of an acre. It’s a very generous space divided neatly into sections creating large park like outside rooms. Just outside the conservatory and the French doors leading from the roundel sitting room we have a lovely big patio area, then there’s a huge lawn and a line of mature conifers behind which is another large area of grass.

  • Monitoring and Predicting Railway Subsidence Using Insar and Time Series Prediction Techniques
    Monitoring and Predicting Railway Subsidence Using InSAR and Time Series Prediction Techniques ZIYI YANG A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Civil Engineering College of Engineering and Physical Sciences The University of Birmingham, UK March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Abstract Improvements in railway capabilities have resulted in heavier axle loads and higher speed operations. Both of these factors increase the dynamic loads on the track. As a result, railway subsidence has become a threat to good railway performance and safe railway operation. Poor infrastructure performance requires more maintenance work, and therefore the life cycle costs of the railway will increase. In order to ensure good performance and reduce life cycle costs, railway subsidence should be monitored and predicted. The author of this thesis provides an approach for railway performance assessment through the monitoring of railway subsidence and prediction of railway subsidence based on a time series of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The railway is a long and relatively narrow infrastructure, which subsides continuously over a long time period.

  • Boughton Monchelsea Neighbourhood Development Plan for the Period up to 2031
    BOUGHTON MONCHELSEA NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE PERIOD UP TO 2031 SUBMISSION VERSION MARCH 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT 1 Boughton Monchelsea Neighbourhood Development Plan – Submission Draft Environmental Statement The following screening report by Maidstone District Council concludes that the Boughton Monchelsea Neighbourhood Plan is not likely to have a significant effect on the environment and thus does not require a Strategic Environmental Assessment. The same conclusion is reached in relation to the need for a Habitat Regulations Assessment. (See Section 7, Screening Conclusion) 2 SEA/HRA Screening Report by MBC Regulation 14 Boughton Monchelsea Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Version June 2019 Strategic Environmental Assessment and Habitats Regulations Assessment Screening Report 3 Prepared by Maidstone Borough Council 1 Introduction The need for environmental assessment of plans is set out in the EU Directive 2001/42/EC – known as the SEA Directive. Under this Directive, Neighbourhood Plans may require an SEA – but this will depend on the content of each Neighbourhood Plan. In some circumstances, where a neighbourhood plan could have significant environmental effects, it may fall within the scope of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 and so require a strategic environmental assessment. One of the basic conditions that will be tested by the independent examiner of a Neighbourhood Plan is whether the making of the plan is compatible with European Union obligations (including under
