Introduction Sevenoaks District Sevenoaks District is located in the western part of Kent with the edge of Greater London to the north, Surrey to the west and East Sussex to the south. The district covers approximately 370km2 and has three principle towns, Sevenoaks, Swanley and Edenbridge. Much of the area is rural in character with 93% designated as Green Belt and about 60% lying within the Kent Downs or High Weald Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a population of approximately 118,000 the district is a popular place to live with good links into London by train, as well as connections across the South East by road via the M25, M26, M20 motorways and the A21 and A25. Sevenoaks District Local Plan 2015-2035 Sevenoaks District Council is currently preparing a new Local Plan to replace the Core Strategy (adopted Feb 2011) and the Allocations and Development Management Plan (adopted Feb 2015). The new Local Plan, which will cover the period to 2035, will include strategic and detailed planning and development management policies, land allocations for housing, employment and mixed use and identify areas in the district for protection. Key information relating to the Local Plan is presented in Table 1.1. Table 1.1: Key facts relating to the Sevenoaks Local Plan Name of Responsible Authority Sevenoaks District Council Title of Plan Sevenoaks Local Plan Subject Spatial plan Purpose The Sevenoaks Local Plan will set out the strategy for future growth within Sevenoaks District in the period to 2035. It will replace the adopted policies of previous Core Strategy (February 2011) and the Allocations and Development Management Plan (February 2015). Timescale To 2035 Area covered by the plan Sevenoaks District. (Figure 1.1) Summary of content The Sevenoaks Local Plan will present the spatial vision for the district, strategic planning policies, development management policies, site specific allocations and proposals maps. 1 Sevenoaks District Local Plan 2015-2035 SA Scoping Report Nov 2016 Name of Responsible Authority Sevenoaks District Council Plan contact point Helen French, Senior Planning officer Email address: [email protected] Sustainability Appraisal SA is a mechanism for considering and communicating the impacts of an emerging plan, and potential alternatives in terms of key sustainability issues. The aim of SA is to inform and influence the plan-making process with a view to avoiding and mitigating negative impacts. Through this approach, the SA for the Local Plan seeks to maximise the developing plan’s contribution to sustainable development. SA is undertaken to address the procedures prescribed by the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 (the SEA Regulations) which transpose into national law the EU Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive1. It also widens the scope of the assessment from focussing on environmental issues to further consider social and economic issues. SA is a legal requirement for Local Plans. The National Planning Practice Guidance states that “the role of the Sustainability Appraisal is to promote sustainable development by assessing the extent to which the emerging plan, when judged against reasonable alternatives, will help to achieve relevant environmental, economic and social objectives.” Two key procedural requirements of the SEA Directive are that: 1) A report (the ‘SA Report’) is published for consultation alongside the Draft Plan that presents an appraisal of the Draft Plan (i.e. discusses ‘likely significant effects’ that would result from plan implementation) and reasonable alternatives; and 2) When deciding on ‘the scope and level of detail of the information’ which must be included in the SA Report there is a consultation with nationally designated authorities concerned with environmental issues. This Scoping Report This Scoping Report is concerned with (2) above. It presents a suggested scope for the SA so that the nationally designated authorities (which, in England, are Natural England, the Environment Agency and Historic England) can provide timely comment. Approach to scoping Developing the draft scope presented in this report has involved the following steps: 1 Directive 2001/42/EC 2 Sevenoaks District Local Plan 2015-2035 SA Scoping Report Nov 2016 1. Exploring the environmental context for the SA, i.e. reviewing high level messages (e.g. from government departments and agencies in particular) with a view to gaining an understanding of broadly what the SA needs to focus on. 2. Establishing the baseline for the SA, i.e. the current and further situation in the area in the absence of the Local Plan, in order to help identify the plan’s likely significant effects. 3. Identifying particular problems or opportunities (‘issues’) that should be a particular focus of the SA. 4. Developing a SA Framework comprising objectives and appraisal questions on the basis of these issues which can then be used to appraise the draft plan. Structure of this report SA themes The outcomes of the scoping elements introduced through steps 1−4 above have been presented under a series of SA themes, as follows: Biodiversity Land, Soil and Water Resources Climate Change Population and Communities Landscape and Historic Health and Wellbeing Environment Transportation Environmental Quality Economy The selected SA themes incorporate the ‘SEA topics’ suggested by Annex I(f) of the SEA Directive2. These were refined to reflect a broad understanding of the anticipated scope of plan effects. It is intended that presenting the scoping information under these themes will help enable the reader to easily locate the information of greatest interest to them. Once agreed (i.e. subsequent to the current consultation), the suggested scope presented under nine themes will provide a methodological ‘framework’ for the appraisal of the draft plan and alternatives. The discussion of the scoping information under each SA theme has been presented in Sections 2 to 10. SA Framework to assess policy proposals The SA Framework provides a way in which sustainability effects can be defined and subsequently analysed based on standard ‘tests’. Each proposal put forward for the Local Plan can then be assessed consistently using the framework. 2 The SEA Directive is 'of a procedural nature' (para 9 of the Directive preamble) and does not set out to prescribe particular issues that should and should not be a focus, beyond requiring a focus on 'the environment, including on issues such as biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including

It should also prove useful to those living and working with adults with autism. The booklet represents the first in a series of projects to be undertaken by Autism and Nature, a new Social Enterprise. It begins by introducing some of the health benefits of nature and the countryside for children with autism. This is followed by a guide to ‘natural’ places to visit in the Kent countryside, which the authors believe many children with autism might enjoy. The booklet concludes with a series of case stories, describing visits to the countryside by school children with autism and related conditions.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

  • 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 Landscape Assessment of Kent
    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.
