  • Swanley Town Council Response to SDC Darft Local Plan
    Swanley Town Council Response to SDC Darft Local Plan St Mary’s Ward Site MX9 – Upper Hockenden Farm, Hockenden Lane SUPPORT. Swanley Town Council supports the development of this brownfield site for a mixed employment and residential use. The website does not state the suggested Dwellings Per Hectare; however this should sympathetically reflect a lower number as a development on the periphery of the town, with very limited access to public transport. We would also suggest that a pavement installed on this site to the main London Road, and the road be widened to accommodate the additional traffic. Site GT5 – Alexis Place, Hockenden Lane NO OBJECTION. Swanley Town Council does not object to increasing the capacity on this site. White Oak Ward Site HO202 – Land Adjacent to 23 Russett Way NO OBJECTION. Swanley Town Council does not object to the development of this land for some housing; however some amenity land should be retained due to the low amounts of amenity land in this densely populated residential area. We would only suggest a maximum of two properties on this land, with the site contributing to some play equipment for local residents. Site HO222 – Former Birchwood Primary School SUPPORT. Swanley Town Council supports the re-development of this brownfield site. However, any re-development should only be considered for the total built area and not into the green belt land or playing fields, which should be kept as amenity land. Any development should respect the privacy and enjoyment of amenity of the houses at the back of Russett Way and Wisteria Gardens, and potentially could include a ‘swap’ of previously developed and green belt land within the site to allow a more acceptable distance and non-intrusive built form from the houses of 28-56 Russett Way.

  • 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.

  • Reasons-For-Closure-Swanley
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Swanley branch is closing on Thursday 4 November 2021 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank. This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Swanley branch is closing: • The number of counter transactions has gone down in the two years to March 2020, and additionally 82% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 14% since 2015 • In the past 12 months, 30% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches • We’ve identified that only 200 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch over the phone on 0345 7 345 345², or with Paul Turpin, your Market Director for South East London.
