The proposed commercial terms of the lease are set out in the report and include a significant reduction in the rent payable by the Bowls Association. In addition, the report considers a request from the Bowls Association for a further reduction in rent to a level below the assessed commercial rent. In response to this, the report proposes that the Council provide grant funding to the Bowls Association to support their running costs. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS: Cabinet is asked to agree the recommendations set out below because: a) The proposal to offer a lease on commercial terms will maximise the contribution to the Council’s revenue budgets from this property asset. b) The Bowls Club provides leisure and sports facilities for local people, and the grant will help to ensure that this provision is sustainable throughout the proposed lease period. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. To receive and note report number C/14/83. 2. To approve the proposed approach to the offer of a new lease to the Folkestone Bowls Association Ltd, as set out in paragraph 1.4 of this report. 3. To authorise the Head of Housing, Land and Property, in consultation with the Solicitor to the Council to finalise the details of the proposed lease with the Folkestone Bowls Association Ltd. 4. To agree to the payment of a grant of £10,000 per year to the Folkestone Bowls Association Ltd for each of the 5 years of the proposed lease, with the first annual payment made in the financial year 2014/15. A condition of the grant will be the completion of essential maintenance at the Folkestone Indoor Bowls Club. Page1 1 1. Background 1.1 Folkestone Bowls Association Limited (FBAL) currently lease the premises know as Folkestone Indoor Bowls Club, Cheriton Road, Folkestone from the Council. The lease was originally granted on 25 March 1991 for a 21 year period and therefore expired on 24 March 2012. The FBAL are currently holding over on the same terms as the original lease. 1.2 The terms of the lease include the following: • A secure lease with full repairing and insuring liabilities resting with the tenant. • Subject to upward only rent reviews every third year. • The Council is able to terminate the lease in the event of the site being redeveloped. • The commencing rent was £16,000 per annum and in subsequent reviews it eventually rose to £24,500 in 2004 and has remained at that level since. 1.3 The Council obtained a valuation for the premises from an independent chartered surveyor on 13 February 2014.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

Summary The Romney Marsh has a unique historic landscape that has evolved over thousands of years. It is now the largest coastal wetland on the southern coast of England and is well known for its natural beauty, diverse habitats and wildlife, rich heritage and extensive coastline. Its long and complex natural history is primarily one of land reclamation and the ongoing battle to manage and retain this land. A number of distinctive features are present throughout its iconic landscape that reflect a rich local heritage that is primarily centred on this battle for land drainage and coastal defence as well as a rich agricultural heritage, wartime defences, maritime heritage and the medieval churches of the Marsh. Its landscape is predominantly characterised by its openness and wildness and is unique in the county. 2. Introduction Since the end of the last Ice Age around 11,500 years ago, the Kent coast has been extensively modified by generally rising sea levels.

John Betjeman A note on terminology: There are actually a number of marshes within the Landscape Partnership Scheme area, including Walland Marsh in the west, Denge Marsh in the south and Romney Marsh in the east. Romney Marsh has given its name to the wider area. In this report, the term ‘Romney Marsh’ should be taken to include the entire area.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 In memory of my Father ABSTRACT The drilling of several deep boreholes through the 40 m thick marine Holocene succession of the Dungeness foreland on the site of the proposed Dungeness "C" Nuclear Power Station provides an opportunity to examine the nature and composition of its sediments. Selected unaltered mollusc shells were used to date the sediment succession at -34.3 m, -32.9 m, -32.4 m and -20.5 m OD to supplement the existing 14C determinations on both wood and shells. The 14C dates obtained showed that the sediments at these depths were deposited between 560±95 and 2755±175 cal. yr BP. Study of borehole cores and logs showed that these deposits consist of three distinct divisions: Basal Gravels, Middle Sands and Top Gravels.
