It is situated adjacent to the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is a Major Development Site as defined by the Tunbridge Wells Borough Local Plan 2006. 1.02 The site is occupied by the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, which was granted permission under reference TW/07/02595. This development is now complete and has been open since September 2011. Two additional car parks have also been provided in addition to this permission. These are located at a higher level than the hospital. One car park is located to the south west of the site and lies adjacent to the Listed Chapel. The other car park is located to the north east of the site. 1.03 The application site, previously Pembury Hospital, provided for a number of outpatient facilities and also the maternity unit. The main hospital Kent and Sussex, which carried out the main services for the Trust was located close to Tunbridge Wells Town Centre and was within walking distance of a number of modes of transport. The main hospital and all its functions and facilities have now moved over to the new hospital at the application site. This site is over 2 miles away from the Town Centre, in a more remote location and not near a variety of transport nodes. 2.0 PROPOSAL 2.01 Planning permission is sought to remove condition 29 of the original planning permission that was amended under planning application TW/10/02250 and currently requires the following: “No part of phase 1(B) of the development hereby permitted shall be occupied until such time as a Bus Plan to facilitate access to the site by buses, to include the following matters, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and has been implemented and the new services have been in operation for at least 21 days. The bus plan shall include: (a) A regular bus services for staff, patients and visitors to the hospital. (b) The services shall provide, as a minimum, the following: (i) A service to and from Tunbridge Wells town centre, calling at Pembury Road, Tunbridge Wells Station, High Brooms and Longfield Road, at an average frequency of 3 buses per hour, (ii) A service to and from Tonbridge town centre, calling at Tonbridge Station and Tonbridge High Street, including Hadlow, West Malling and Borough Green at an average frequency of 2 buses per hour, (iii) A service to and from Crowborough town centre, calling at Tunbridge Wells station, at a frequency of 1 bus per hour, and (iv) A service to and from Maidstone Town Centre, calling at Paddock Wood, Maidstone East Station, Maidstone High Street and Maidstone Hospital, at a frequency of 1 bus per hour. (c) All services shall operate between 0600hrs and 2300hrs on every day throughout the year. (Frequencies may be reduced on Public Holidays.) (d) Details of routes, stops and service frequencies. (e) The start of the services shall coincide with the opening of phase 1 (B) of the development and will run for a period of at least 5 years thereafter. (f) The Bus Plan shall provide for monitoring and annual review of the effectiveness of the services and for variation thereof, subject to written agreement with the Local Planning Authority. Has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning authority, in consultation with the Highway Agency and Kent County Council. Reason: To provide suitable traffic management policies which aim to reduce the use of the private car in accordance with Policy TP1 of the Local Plan”. 2.02 The main reason for this condition was for the NHS Trust to establish viable bus services to the hospital. In the early stages, bus services are rarely viable and the applicant was requested to help these services build up so at the end of the 5 year period they were likely to become viable and remain so. 2.03 It is proposed to replace this condition with a Section 106 Legal Agreement which seeks to secure the following: That the NHS Trust will provide funding sufficient to ensure the continuing operation of the Bus Services. This provision will continue until the first of the following occurs: - The expiry of 5 years from the Opening Date of the Hospital (19.09.11); - The date upon which the Owner has provided funding in accordance with this agreement totalling not less than two million one hundred thousand pounds (£2,100,000)] which shall include such sums of money as have already paid by the Owner to Kent County Council and Arriva Southern Counties during the period between the Opening Date of the Hospital and the date of `this permission if granted; or - The Bus Services becoming financially viable such that they generate sufficient revenue from ticket sales to the public to no longer require subsidy. 2.04 These commitments are put forward in the Legal Agreement provided that the total Financial Contributions paid by the NHS Trust towards bus service provision does not exceed £2,100,000. It has been confirmed that since the opening of the hospital in September 2011 over £522,000 has been invested in providing bus services and in addition significant contributions have been made to the voluntary sector in the outlying areas where the Trust have made funds available for the next three years. 2.05 The proposed S106 legal agreement aims to secure an improvement in the provision of buses to serve the following routes: • Route 1 – Tunbridge Wells Hospital to Tunbridge Wells Town Centre • Route 2 – Tunbridge Wells Hospital to Tonbridge Town Centre 2.06 The application also provides details of the routes, stops and service frequencies for these routes. This includes: Bus Route Stops Times 217 T Wells Station, T Wells High Street, Monday-Friday -0644– Hospital, Weald of Kent School and 2010 Tonbridge Town Centre. Saturday – 0746 - 1940 No Sundays 208,209,278 Henwood Green, Pembury Camden Monday-Friday -0600– Arms, T Wells Town Centre, Sherwood, 2309 Hospital, Hill View School, Weald of Saturdays – 0815 - Kent School, Goldsmid Road, Tonbridge 2259 Town Centre, Cage Green, Higham Sundays – 0811 - Wood, Golden Green, East Peckam. 2315 2.07 This means that the following routes laid out in the original condition would no longer be secured: (i) A service including Hadlow, West Malling and Borough Green at an average frequency of 2 buses per hour, (ii) A service to and from Crowborough town centre, calling at Tunbridge Wells station, at a frequency of 1 bus per hour, and (iii) A service to and from Maidstone Town Centre, calling at Paddock Wood, Maidstone East Station, Maidstone High Street and Maidstone Hospital, at a frequency of 1 bus per hour. 2.08 To support this application, the applicant, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust have provided the following information: A Viability Statement. Details of the bus services proposed including routes and frequencies. Hospital Staff address maps. Bus passenger demand analysis. A draft Legal Agreement. 2.09 As part of their submission the applicants also make clear that the viability report, along with KCC and independent operators, conclude that the provision of a bus service running from the hospital to Hadlow, West Malling and Borough Green would be unviable. To address this and to accord with the requirements of condition 29, the Trust has set up a funding structure to help support the Voluntary Sector which serves the outer lying areas to assist in accessibility to the hospital. The draft S106 legal agreement has been amended since submission of the application to include this commitment. 2.10 In addition to this, it is also important to note, that whilst the provision of the Bus Services is being resolved, the NHS have been providing funding for a number of bus services identified by Kent County Council. These have been operational since the full opening of the hospital in September 2011. 2.11 Furthermore whilst this application relates to the removal of condition 29 and its replacement with a Legal Agreement, it does in effect grant a whole new planning application for the hospital development. (Note – This means that the Local Planning Authority is technically required to reiterate all the conditions that relate to the original permission for the Hospital in the decision notice for this application should it be granted). 2.12 The application is being presented to the Joint Planning Committee in accordance with the scheme of delegation as the condition was placed on the original ) and amended applications (TW/07/02595 and TW/10/2250 respectively) by the Committee. 3.0 RELEVANT HISTORY Planning permission has been approved for the following: 3.01 TW/02/00333 – Outline (means of access and siting not reserved) – General Hospital, Mental Health Unit, associated staff accommodation, car parking and associated junction improvements.

  • 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.

  • Report and Recommendations
    1 Tunbridge Wells Town Plan Advisory Panel Report and Recommendations Presented to TUNBRIDGE WELLS BOROUGH COUNCIL July 2012 2 FOREWORD It is now around eight months since I set up the Tunbridge Wells Town Plan Panel with the purpose of better informing the debate on the future development of the town. Some finger crossing was needed at first since the exercise was new to all those involved, and required some pretty basic blue sky thinking. However, I am delighted that we are now able to publish our views, based on the consensus of the majority of the Panel members. Looking back, I feel privileged to have been part of a group of people who have shown such dedication and have given up so much of their time to the task. There will be those, no doubt, who will question the composition of the Panel and indeed its competence or mandate for doing this work. The choice of members was initially mine, and whilst I made every effort to ensure a balanced selection of skills and demographics, I was always aware that this could never be entirely perfect, and would be inevitably open to challenge. Despite this, however, I remain confident that the result is a valid and useful contribution to the consultation process. In particular, the thinking has been from the bottom up, starting with a clean sheet and few pre-conceived ideas. It is probable that the result may not be seen as dramatic, but I am convinced that it will prove to be of considerable significance in further informing the Borough Council's consultation on the Tunbridge Wells town centre plan.
