Summary 1.1 The Council has received an approach from Longfield and New Barn Parish Council to acquire these properties. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 That the land and premises shown by black verge on the plan attached as Appendix A be declared suitable for transfer to a local Parish Council. 2.2 That the Project Director be authorised to enter into negotiations with the Longfield and New Barn Parish Council to transfer the property on terms to be approved by the Managing Director in consultation with the Deputy Leader of the Council and Head of Legal Services. 3. Background and Discussion 3.1. Officers have been approached by the Longfield and New Barn Parish Council to acquire the freehold interest in the property known as Long Valley Hall and adjoining land at Longfield, as shown by black verge (for identification purposes only) on the plan attached as Appendix A. 3.2. The property comprises three distinct areas as detailed below:- (a) Long Valley Community Hall, Social Club & Car Park. There are three leases in existence for these premises. The Parish Council has been granted two of these: a lease of part of the Long Valley Hall for a term of 20 years from 11 May 2010 at a rent of £1,400 per annum subject to 5 yearly rent reviews and a lease of an area for a Children’s Play Area at a peppercorn rent expiring in November 2024. The remaining part of Long Valley Hall is leased to Long Valley Sports and Social Club for 20 years from 11 May 2010 at a rent of £6,500 per annum subject to 5 yearly rent review. (b) Long Valley Sports Ground. This area of approximately 4.7 acres is currently leased by the Parish Council for 25 years from 15 November 1999 at a peppercorn rent. (c) Longfield Chalk Bank. This has an area of approximately 4.8 acres and is a “Site of Nature Conservation Interest”. It is currently being managed by Kent Wildlife Trust under the terms of a Licence from this Council with no payment involved. 3.3. The Council wishes to encourage asset transfers to appropriate authorities where such a transfer is judged to be in the interest of both authorities and local residents. Long Valley Hall building is in an Agenda Item 10 Page 2 CABINET 23 SEPTEMBER 2010 extremely tired condition and would ideally benefit from reconstruction. The Parish Council has submitted a planning application (ref 10/0070/FUL) to this Council, as Local Planning Authority, for the demolition of the existing community hall and parish office and erection of a two-storey detached building to provide community hall including parish office, new flood lit 5-a-side all-weather football pitch and revised car parking arrangements. The Parish Council has now followed this up with the approach to acquire the freehold interest in this property. Officers are of the view that it is appropriate that this property be disposed of to the Parish Council as it is a local community facility. 3.4. Members approval is sought to declare the property and adjoining lands suitable for transfer and to authorise the Project Director to enter into negotiations with the Parish Council to dispose of the property on terms to be approved by the Managing Director in consultation with the Deputy Leader of the Council and the Head of Legal Services. 4. Relationship to the Corporate Plan To ensure that regeneration in Dartford is sustainable and of benefit to all of our communities. 5. Financial, legal, staffing and other administrative implications and risk assessments Financial Implications The proposal will result in a capital receipt being obtained but a loss of rent of £7,900 per annum. Legal Implications Part of the land is held as public open space. Under Section 123(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972, before transferring ownership of the land, the Council must give notice of its intention to do so by advertising for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper circulating in the area. Any representations received would have to be considered before any disposal could proceed. Under Section 123 of the 1972 Act, the Council can dispose of its land without the consent of the Secretary of State provided that the disposal is at the best price that can reasonably be obtained. Staffing Implications None. Administrative None. Implications Risk Assessment No uncertainties and/or constraints at this stage. Page 3 Agenda Item 10 CABINET 23 SEPTEMBER 2010 6.

Summary 1.1 To inform the Cabinet about policy changes made by the Coalition Government which affect this Council 2. RECOMMENDATION 2.1 That the Cabinet note the policy changes made by the Coalition Government which affect this Council 3. Background and Discussion 3.1. A number of important legislative and policy announcements have been made which directly affect the Borough Council. The purpose of this report is to give the Cabinet a general overview of what the Government has announced and the key aspects of those announcements. 3.2. The Coalition Government is underpinned by the Coalition Agreement entitled "The Coalition: our programme for government". Section 4 of the document sets out the programme in relation to Communities and Local Government. This includes giving Local Authorities a power of general competence which will allow Councils to take action in any area which they consider appropriate, unless there is a specific legal prohibition. 3.3. The Government has announced that it is to allow Councils to create or revoke by-laws without having to gain permission from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. Councils will have to demonstrate that they have consulted local residents about the proposal. The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has also announced a streamlined process for organising street parties and is asking Councils’ to reduce the amount of signage and barriers currently found on highways. 3.4. The agreement announces the abolition of Regional Spatial Strategies and the Infrastructure Planning Commission. Planning decisions in areas such as housing numbers are now to be taken by Local Authorities and the targets set at regional level are to be abolished. 3.5. The Secretary of State has written to Local Authority Leaders to advise that he intends to abolish Regional Strategies and that he expects local planning authorities and the Planning Inspectorate to treat that as a material planning consideration. There has been no indication as to 1 Agenda Item 15 Page 8 CABINET 23 SEPTEMBER 2010 whether documents such as the County Structure Plans are to be revived or whether any sub regional arrangements around issues such as infrastructure will be for local groupings to decide upon. 3.6. Whilst housing numbers have now become a matter for this Council to decide upon it should be noted that the Council has already granted planning permission for over 13,000 new homes. 3.7. Proposals have been published to introduce a “new homes bonus” to encourage house building. Details of the scheme will be provided in a consultation paper to be produced after the spending review, however it has been suggested that this will involve Councils receiving a grant worth 100% of Council Tax revenues for these properties, for a six year period after completion and 125% of revenues for affordable homes. 3.8. With the abolition of the regional spatial strategies the Government has abolished the Regional Development Agencies, including the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA). The Government has also announced that the Government Offices, including the Government Office for the South East (GOSE), are to be abolished, subject to the consequential changes involved being resolved through the Comprehensive Spending Review (this mainly involves issues around the regional management of civil contingencies). 3.9. The regional development bodies will be replaced with Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP’s). These will be bodies consisting of representatives of Local Authorities and business. They would represent groups of upper tier authorities and reflect the natural economic geography of the areas they serve and hence cover real functional economic and travel to work areas. There has been no mention about the future of Local Strategic Partnerships and Community Planning.

  • 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.

Photo 4 July 2019, © Lliam Rooney Introduction Kent Botany 2019 is the tenth report in the Kent Botany series, reporting on current botanical developments in the county. It represents a significant milestone, as 2019 brings to an end ten seasons of recording by the Kent Botanical Recording Group, founded in March 2010. It is also the end of the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland’s (BSBI) date class 2010-19, a ten-year period for the assemblage of records which may be compared with previous ten-year date classes, to identify trends in the distribution of our flora. In addition, it is the end of the BSBI’s Atlas 2020 project, which seeks to map the current status of the British and Irish flora, following up the last mapping (Preston et al., 2002), twenty years before. This report is issued primarily as a web version, maintained on the Kent page of the BSBI website, https://bsbi.org/kent, and this should be regarded as the definitive version. The text, substantially the same, is also published as hard copy within the Kent Field Club (KFC) Bulletin. Highlights Highlights for 2019 included the following: Juncus ranarius (Frog Rush) has been restored to the Kent flora, with the discovery of a population at Crossness; Juncus x surrejanus (J.

  • We Are a Dedicated Team of Weather Worn Volunteers, Roving the Darenth Area, Going Wherever the Work Needs to Be Done
    We are a dedicated team of weather worn volunteers, roving the Darenth area, going wherever the work needs to be done. We are lead by Area Warden Paul Glanfield and Volunteer Trainees. The roving nature of the team means that we visit different sites each week which vary between chalk grassland to woodland and bogland. The diversity of sites and location across the west side of the county gives a wide variety of volunteering opportunities all year round. Why is it important? Without this roving team some of the best wildlife habitat in the Darenth area would soon be lost as it requires constant effort to maintain them. Many of the reserves sit within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or have special designations due to the rare species you can find there.

  • Sevenoaks Countryside Assessment
    Supplementary Planning Document: Sevenoaks Countryside Assessment Adopted October 2011 Local Development Framework Sevenoaks District Countryside Assessment 2011 2 Foreword: Proposed Adoption of the Countryside Assessment as a Supplementary Planning Document The District Council has produced a District Wide Landscape Character Assessment. The project work was carried out by Jacobs on behalf of Kent County Council, Sevenoaks District Council and Natural England. The Countryside Assessment was originally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance in 2004. It has now been adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and forms part of the Local Development Framework (LDF), enabling it to carry extra weight in decision making. The Countryside Assessment was originally carried out in accordance with the guidance “Landscape Character Assessment Guidance”, as published by Natural England in 2002. While it is now a few years old the approach followed by the document still provides a sound assessment of the District landscapes and for the consideration of development proposals that affect them. This update has been carried out entirely by the District Council.

Last year was an interesting time. Our significant achievement was the purchase at auction of the land behind Hockers Lane behind the houses and alongside the CTRL. We used the publicly contributed reserve fund that we have kept separate to the village finances for over 20 years, this gives an indication of just how long Detling has been campaigning for an open space. This was important in that the community through the Parish Council now has access to three pieces of land that should remain for the use and enjoyment of all villagers for many years to come.
