Business and Employment Sites Introduction Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan Evidence: Business and Employment Sites Introduction Protecting Business Sites as part of the Identified Business Sites Neighbourhood Plan Following this analysis the following four The Neighbourhood Plan seeks to protect business sites have been identified as the key local business sites in order to help key area of focus for the Neighbourhood safeguard the sustainability of the parish. Plan in developing business site policies. The focus of this evidence is, therefore, on the key clusters of business sites the • Parkgate Centre loss of which would adversely affect local • Pickhill Business Village employment opportunities and decrease (Pickhill Business Centre) the sustainability of the town. • Leigh Green Industrial Estate • Station Road Business Centre Methodology Statement The identification of these key business sites has been made following a desk top exercise using local business directories and websites, Chamber of Commerce and Civil Society local knowledge, review of OS maps, site visits and Ashford Local Plan evidence and policies to identify the business sites that contribute to the local economy and provide employment opportunities. Although there are a number of business areas across the Parish, the planning framework affects them in different ways. For example it is now possible, in certain circumstances, to convert office buildings to residential use without the need for planning permission. Although there is office space within the parish which in terms of providing a range of local employment opportunities it may be desirable to protect, it is not feasible for the Neighbourhood Plan to prevent such changes to residential use. Light industrial units may also move to residential use, with a number of exclusions. However, sites of this kind in the parish are unlikely to provide a desirable location for individual dwelling houses or lend themselves to conversion to residential use. There is, therefore, merit in the Neighbourhood Plan targeting the protection of light industrial sites that continue to contribute to the local economy and provide employment opportunities. 2 Business and Employment Sites | Tenterden Neighbourhood Development Plan Business and Employment Sites | Tenterden Neighbourhood Development Plan 3 Parkgate Centre Details of the Sites Parkgate Centre – Cranbrook Road A group of part converted former farm buildings and yard area with planning permission for light industrial use.

  • H Boorman & Co
    Tenterden and District Newsletter Local History Society No. 27 October 2015 Founded 25th November 1955 H BOORMAN & Co H Boorman & Co was situated at 2 and 4 West Cross, at the west end of Tenterden High Street. The shop which could have been regarded as the ‘Harrods of the Weald’ was situated in 18th century buildings which were nearly all demolished about 1977 except for that part now run by the Orvis store. The rest of the site was then redeveloped into what is now known as Caxton Close. The business, founded in 1819 by Mr Samuel Boorman, rapidly prospered and expanded under his son Henry’s control. At various times the firm had branches in Headcorn, Benenden, Smarden, Appledore, Wittersham, Bethersden, Rolvenden and Iden Green. ‘Value for Money’ was the company motto and at its peak employed some 40 people, some of whom lived on the premises. They served everything from a bag of sugar to a hat, ran a horse drawn funeral service and could completely furnish your home. The business survived for 153 years before closing in February 1973. In the last week shoppers were able to buy groceries at ten per cent less whilst there was an auction of the contents of the drapery and furnishing departments. At the time of its closure all the branches had closed and the firm had roughly 20 employees. In 1973 most of the commercial activity of the town was at the other end of the town and another factor in its closure was because people were becoming more mobile and shopping in towns further a field which had a greater variety of shops.
