Helen said: “In this part of the South East there’s enormous pressure to build and develop, but CPRE battles to preserve the open The problem with this, of course, is that local authorities can’t build homes; all that they can deliver is local plans with land spaces of Kent for future generations. I look forward to working with CPRE allocated for housing, and then grant or deny planning applications according to those plans. But, if not enough houses are built Kent on future campaigns.” to meet the targets, the planning authority must designate even more land.

This Neighbourhood Plan is submitted by the parish councils of Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk, in Kent, both being qualifying bodies as defined by the Localism Act 2011. The parishes were designated as a Neighbourhood Area under the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012, Part 2, and Section 6 by Swale Borough Council on 19th September 2013. Strategically, the message of this Plan is that both the villages feel they are under siege. The pressure comes from two directions – increased traffic and proposed housing developments. Traffic: We sit at the head of the bottleneck leading to the Channel ports; Brenley Corner is among the nation’s blackest of black spots and, given the increasing demands of heavy goods vehicles travelling between the continent and the UK, the pressure on the through roads and country lanes and lay-bys, can only get worse. The quality of the air we breathe will also be affected.

  • 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.

  • The Contemporary English Country House Novel After 2000
    Resurgence and Renovation: The Contemporary English Country House Novel after 2000 Submitted for examination for the degree of Ph.D. in English Literature by Barbara Williams 080782814 School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics Newcastle University August 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the resurgence of the English country house novel since 2000 as part of the growing popularity of the country house setting in contemporary British culture. In the context of economic recession, growing English nationalism, and a Conservative-led government accused of producing a ‘Downton Abbey-style society’, country house texts are often dismissed as nostalgic for a conservative social order. This study reclaims the English country house novel from this critical dismissal, stressing the genre’s political ambivalence. While readings of the country house resurgence are mostly played out through the media’s reaction to television programmes, my research provides a detailed and comparative examination of literary texts currently missing from the debate. I situate Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001), Sally Beauman’s Rebecca’s Tale (2001), Toby Litt’s Finding Myself (2003), Wesley Stace’s Misfortune (2005), Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale (2006), Sarah Waters’s The Little Stranger (2009), and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Stranger’s Child (2011) within a wider body of discourse on the country house, exploring the contemporary relevance and cultural value of the setting. It is my contention that the English country house novel self-consciously negotiates its growing popularity in contemporary culture. In chapter one, I argue that the recent shift from material to textual inheritance in the genre is a way of reclaiming voices traditionally excluded from the canonical house of fiction.

  • Biodiversity Opportunity Area Statement Name: North Kent Marshes
    Biodiversity Opportunity Area Statement Name: North Kent Marshes Description: The North Kent Marshes are designated, almost in their entirety, as SSSI, SPA and/or Ramsar, and are of national and international importance for breeding and overwintering bird populations. The area includes three areas recommended to be Marine Conservation Zones: the Thames Estuary rMCZ, (on hold) which provides critical spawning and nursery grounds for fish, the Medway Estuary MCZ, designated for a range of estuarine habitats as well as for the tentacled lagoon worm and The Swale Estuary rMCZ (under consultation), supporting seagrass and mussel beds and rich muddy gravels. The opportunity area also includes a few LWSs such as the Diggs and Sheppey Court Marshes near Queenborough, Graveney Dykes and Pasture, Minster Marshes and Minster Cliffs. Much of this Biodiversity Opportunity Area is included in the Greater Thames Estuary Nature Improvement Area. National Character Area(s): Greater Thames Estuary Kent Landscape Character Area(s): Eastern Thames Marshes, Hoo Peninsula, Medway Marshes, Swale Marshes, North Sheppey and Eastern Swale Marshes. Landscape Character: An open and remote landscape characterised by grazing marsh associated with wetlands. Fields are bounded by creeks and ditches – many of which have a long history, creating a distinctive pattern. These landscape features support salt marsh and intertidal mudflats stretching from the River Thames estuary in the west to the Swale Estuary in the east. Settlements and roads are limited in this area, low but prominent hills typically with settlements or copses of trees. Saltmarsh extends inland along creeks and drainage dykes and in places grazing marsh has been converted to arable cultivation.

In the more urban areas of Whitstable and Seasalter, it departs from the Saxon Shore Way in order to follow the coast more closely (see Overview Map B – Existing Access: Whitstable to Iwade). 1.1.4 Is aligned on the beach between The Lower Island Golf Course, Whitstable and The Battery at Seasalter. See route sections WSI-1-S026, WSI-2-S027 and WSI-2-S029 to WSI-1-S034 on maps 1a and 1b, and table 1.2.1 below for details. 1.1.5 Includes one stretch of new path near Seasalter Levels. The route follows an inland diversion here to take the trail along the base of an inland flood defence bund south of Faversham Road, as the beach and Faversham Road are considered unsuitable for a National Trail at this location. See sections WSI-1-S039 to WSI-1-S044 on maps 1b and 1c, and table 1.2.1 below for details.
