Prior to my retirement from Jacobs Engineering in 2016, I had been responsible for the design and installation of traffic control systems for clients throughout the country. For some 30 years of my career, I specialised in this field for Kent County Council (KCC), the first 16 years as an employee and the remainder as a consultant after the outsourcing of Kent County Council’s Highways department to Babtie Consulting Engineers, later incorporated into Jacobs Engineering. For much of this time I led the team providing traffic control systems in Kent, and personally approved all new traffic signal designs prior to their implementation.

    Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004

    The Landscape Assessment of Kent October 2004 Prepared for Kent County Council by Jacobs Babtie Kent County Council Invicta House County Hall Maidstone Kent ME14 1XX Tel: 01622 221537 Jacobs Babtie Miller House Lower Stone Street Maidstone Kent ME15 6GB Tel: 01622 666000 Produced with the financial support of the European Regional Development Fund Front cover photograph courtesy of Jason Mitchell EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kentish landscape has evolved over many hundreds of years. It has been created by the interaction of the natural environment and human activities, in particular the combination of physical, biological and cultural influences. Physical influences such as geology and landform, together with the overlying pattern of settlement and land use are key determinants of landscape character. The Landscape Assessment of Kent is a landscape character based study that draws together existing landscape character assessments of the county and updates them to conform to the current guidance. Additional work on the condition and sensitivity of the Kent landscape has been used to formulate character-based strategies to ensure the continued distinctiveness of the Kent landscape. It is intended that the Landscape Assessment of Kent will be used in a variety of forward planning strategies, in land management schemes and in planning control. The objective is to ensure that decisions on the rural landscape are underpinned by a robust and widely accepted assessment of the landscape character. The challenge is to find ways of identifying the important characteristics of the landscape that assist the process of accommodating change, where this is both desirable and practicable, whilst maintaining the links with the past and the natural environment.

Beckett of Potter's Corner at the Warren, north of Ashford (Nat. grid ref. 999444) and given by him to the Museum (ace. no. 69.1960). Such flakes, serrated along one edge, are usually found as part of the light flint industry associated with Secondary Neolithic cultures. In Kent they have been found at Grovehurst.
