    Chiddingstone Hoath Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan 2012 Chiddingstone Hoath Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan The historic environment is a social asset of immense value and one of the keys to the continuing prosperity of Sevenoaks District. Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans are part of a process to ensure that we make the best use of our historic environment. They are tools for the positive management of change, not a means of preventing development. Conservation is focused on the entire historic environment, not just listed buildings. Trees, open spaces, landscape, buildings, uses, roads and streets all contribute to the character and local distinctiveness of the District’s conservation areas. The man-made environment of our conservation areas has used energy and materials moulded by people both past and present. The District Council will creatively manage the fabric of these areas in a sustainable way as a legacy for future generations. It is intended that this appraisal and management plan will inform the activities of the Council, the public and other bodies where they affect the conservation area. The Plan was approved by the District Council in January 2012 and adopted as informal planning guidance.

  • Warders Medical Centre the History of a Practice in Tonbridge and Penshurst 1808-2021
    1 Warders Medical Centre The History of a practice in Tonbridge and Penshurst 1808-2021 David MG Goodridge 2 This is the story of the Warders medical practice as it has evolved in step with the developments in medical care and the way in which it has been delivered over the past two centuries. Although it has been produced primarily for the patients of Warders Medical Centre and local residents, we feel it may also be of interest to other general practices and medical historians. We were surprised at the variety and depth of our own history which includes: · The first description of a rare form of epilepsy. · · A Victorian polymath whose research interests included the weights of human teeth and the study of shells and the compound eyes of insects. · · Research leading to an alteration in the UK Driving Regulations for patients with epilepsy. We hope this site will encourage other practices to research and publish their own histories and perhaps produce a virtual history of general practice. Page Number 1. Early days 1815-1894.

  • Grassroots Politics in West Kent Since the Late Eighteenth Century
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 129 2009 GRASSROOTS POLITICS IN WEST KENT SINCE THE LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY DAVID KILLINGRAY Most studies and courses on political history focus on national politicians and parties, on the executive and legislative actions that have fashioned the affairs of State. This is obviously important, but it is not the main form of political activity in the country or in a county. Public interest is often focused on affairs at the local rather than at the national level. The vast majority of electors have never belonged to a national political party or taken an active part in their affairs; popular participation and even interest in politics, so we have been repeatedly told, has nose- dived in the last few years. People are ‘turned-off’ by politics. However, at the grassroots level many people have taken action against policies that challenge what they perceive to be their interests and welfare. This happened when local people demonstrated in Tunbridge Wells and other Kent towns at the imposition of the ‘Poll Tax’ – the Community Charge in 1990. More recently, in 2005-6, villagers in Wye successfully campaigned against a threatened development project, orchestrated by Imperial College with the covert connivance of both the Kent County Council and Ashford Borough Council, which would have turned their village into a town of 12,000 people with dire consequences for an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.1 New political passions have been released at the local level in the last two-hundred years by the growth of population, industrialisation and urbanisation with its accompanying geographical and social mobility; traditional hierarchies were eroded, a large working class emerged, and democratisation slowly extended.
