Conclusions p. 24 Page | 2 Executive Summary The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) encourages Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) to identify within their Local Plans, appropriate locations for development. These should account for social, economic and environmental opportunities and ensure that the location of development is sustainable. The Settlement Hierarchy is a useful tool to determine the role of settlements, according to a number of factors including population size, services available within a settlement, consideration of Green Belt boundaries and transport connections. The Settlement Hierarchy for Sevenoaks District has 5 settlement classifications, ranking from the most sustainable (Principal Town Centre) to the least sustainable type of settlements (Hamlets): Principal Town – Sevenoaks Urban Area (Sevenoaks Town including Bessels Green, Chipstead, Dunton Green and Riverhead), Towns - Swanley, Edenbridge (including Marlpit Hill) and Westerham Local Service Centres – Hartley, New Ash Green and Otford Villages – West Kingsdown, South Darenth, Hextable, Seal, Brasted, Kemsing, Eynsford, Crockenhill, Halstead, Leigh, Farningham, Sevenoaks Weald, Knockholt (with Knockholt Pound), Sundridge, Shoreham, Four Elms, and Horton Kirby..

The Venerable John Stanger of Bessels Green
The Venerable John Stanger of Bessels Green I HE COURSE of events and the changes, which the historian must T often set down in summary fashion and in broad generalisations, can be better understood if they are exhibited in connection with the life stories of individuals. During the long reign of George Ill, for example, profound changes came over the face of England. What G. M. Trevelyan describes as "Dr. Johnson's England" became "Cobbett's England", a very differ ent place. A series of revolutions-industrial, agricultural and poli tical-changed the general patterns of society. The balance of power in international affairs was altered by the Seven Years War, the War of American Independence and then the series of wars against Napoleon. The Evangelical Revival reached its climax, with many indirect as well as direct effects upon the outlook and position of the various ecclesiastical bodies. There was a general quickening of religious interest and zeal, and movements had their rise which prepared the way for the influential position occupied by the Churches in the later decades of the nineteenth century. Even if one's attention is confined to the Baptist denomination, the reign of George III appears of special importance, for it was a period of notable but complex developments, affecting both the Baptist groups which had emerged in the seventeenth century. The General Baptists, traditionally Arminian in theology, were much affected by the contemporary trend in certain intellectual and religious circles towards Unitarianism, but in their midst the strongly evangelical New Connexion had its rise. The Particular Baptists, who preferred Calvinism, often of a very rigid kind, shared in the general renewal of religious interest and gave birth to the first of modem missionary societies and then to a nation-wide union which drew together ministers, churches and the regional association of churches, which had long been a characteristic feature of their life. -

INFLUENCES SHAPING the HUMAN LANDSCAPE of the SEVENOAKS AREA SINCE C.1600
Archaeologia Cantiana - Vol. 130 2010 INFLUENCES SHAPING THE HUMAN LANDSCAPE OF THE SEVENOAKS AREA SINCE c.1600 DAVID KILLINGRAY The former market town of Sevenoaks with its surrounding villages and hamlets remains a largely rural area of west Kent despite being within 30 miles, and only 35 minutes by rail, from central London. That the area has retained much of its pleasing environment is due in part to its geographical position, to aristocratic influence, and more recently to actions by central government to secure the green belt around London. This essay looks at how the landscape history, or the human landscape – a geographers’ term to distinguish the actions of people on the landscape from those of natural processes – of the Sevenoaks area has been shaped and made over the last four hundred years. The father of the study of English landscape history was W.G. Hoskins, a redoubtable foe of twentieth-century developments which he either ignored or vigorously denounced in his several influential books.1 His colleague, and successor to the Hatton Chair of English Local History at Leicester University, was Sevenoaks-born Alan Everitt. It is to him that we owe many of the most imaginative ideas about the evolution of Kent’s early human landscape.2 As Everitt said in one of his essays, ‘The landscape history of Kent is a vast subject [and] ... I am still baffled by many of its complexities’.3 With that warning in mind this essay is restricted to a short period and a small area of west Kent. Confining the focus to the ‘modern’ period avoids repeating what has been well explained by earlier scholars and concentrates on recent centuries, especially the twentieth which has been largely ignored by historians of landscape.4 The natural landscape Although many people who live in Sevenoaks may not have recognised it as a hill town it is indeed just that, standing at a height of over 600 feet [190m], a rare occurrence in England. -
