Coronavirus has dominated the news, and what we hoped we would experience as a brighter New Year as we left 2020 behind us, is yet to come. Several years ago, when we were visiting Kerala in South India, we stayed at the home of Arundhati Roy’s aunt, in the area where her book, ‘The God of Small Things’, was located. We read more of her writings and listened to her speaking at an online conference. A Christmas card from a friend this year contained the following quote from her recent book in April 2020: “Whatever it is, coronavirus has made the mighty kneel and brought the world to a halt like nothing else could. Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to “normality”, trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. Cont/…… 1 We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world, and ready to fight for it”. (Arundhati Roy: 2020: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/130-arundhati-roy- the-pandemic-is-a-portal) It is encouraging to see the new centres for vaccinations opening up across the country, and the anticipation that most, if not all, adults will have been able to receive the vaccination by Autumn 2021. It is great to begin to think about planning holidays, to watch the dawn of Spring as the bulbs push through the earth and the buds on the trees beginning to emerge and to imagine life as we remember it again. But I think it is helpful to remind ourselves that this is our opportunity to ‘imagine our world anew’ and to ‘walk through [the gateway] lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world, and ready to fight for it’. For Christmas, Isobel gave me Jonathan Sacks’ last book, where he asks; ‘Are we destined to live with ever more divisive politics…divided societies, growing inequalities and increasing loneliness, less public regard for truth and evermore determined efforts to ban and demonise the voices with which we disagree? Can we change?’ He believed that we can, by shifting our cultural outlook from ‘I’ to ‘we’. 1 1Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times 2020:321 We have an opportunity to work to create a better world for people and the planet and ensure that we leave the next generation a place where they can live peacefully, fairly and sustainably - and may God be our helper. God bless, Bill UPDATE FROM THE CHURCHWARDENS There has been a slight delay in the church machinery for approving the enlarged `benefice of Penshurst, Fordcombe and the Chiddingstone Churches’ that will be recruiting a new Rector. We are unable to advertise for the post until this approval comes through but rest assured that lots of work has been going on behind the scenes so that we are able to start as soon as we have the green light. In particular, a new Benefice-wide parish profile has been produced by an all-parish working party of David Lough (Penshurst), Peter Waghorn (Fordcombe) and Paul Allen, Felicity Streatfeild and Bob Golds (Chiddingstones). Following final approval from the Diocese, this will be circulated to PCC and Electoral Roll members at the same time as it appears as an advert on the various church web sites. We will keep you appraised of an agreed programme as soon as we know. Paul Allen and Bob Golds 2 SCHOOL NEWS When we broke up for Christmas, we said goodbye to the children, not realising that we would not be seeing the majority in January. This has been a start to the New Year like no other. Another national lockdown has thrown us many challenges but we have learnt a lot over the last year and have been able to adapt relatively seamlessly to a combination of remote learning and onsite provision for children of critical workers. Our Teachers and TA’s have been working very hard to continue to provide a varied creative curriculum for all. Here are some of the activities that the children have been up to at home and at school: The term for Reception class has started off with our new topic, Winter Wonderland. The children are enjoying a full curriculum focusing on the winter season. We have investigated how ice melts in our warm hands and we have baked snowflake cookies. In the very brief snowfall, some children were able to build snowmen before the snow melted and made a snowman with salt dough. The children have also taken part in spotting the different birds in their gardens. In Year 1 the children have kicked off the term with the topic, Dinosaur Planet, and they have looked at a variety of dinosaurs and their habitat. They made dinosaur eggs with clay, adding glitter and dried peas for texture. They used stencils to create drawings of dinosaurs in their habitats and used natural materials to make a prehistoric landscape. In Year 2, the children have made thankful prayers on leaves to add to our ‘thankfulness tree’ in the classroom - it is a lovely reminder to be thankful during what is a hard time for so many. The children have been so engaged with the online learning and we've had fun doing karate punctuation, measuring the length of objects in our homes as well as finding some snow on the top of a hill! An explosive start to Term 3! Class 3 has been very busy investigating the structure of the earth in preparation for our topic this term, ‘Rocks, Relics and Rumbles’. We are very much looking forward to becoming rock specialists as well as exploring volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. At the same time, we are perfecting our addition and subtraction skills before we start working with money in maths. Cont/… 3 The topic in Year 4 this term is ‘Burps, Bottoms and Bile’, a topic you can imagine the children love! So far, we have been learning about the structure of teeth, different types of teeth and their functions.

  • Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy for the AMR: June 2015
    Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy for the AMR: June 2015 Appendix A: Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy for the AMR 2015 1. Introduction The Sevenoaks District Settlement Hierarchy was first prepared in 2007/2008, with the last update in July 2009. The Hierarchy identifies several tiers of settlements based on an audit of existing services and facilities. As such, it serves as a useful tool in helping to advise on options for new development taking account of the most sustainable locations. Together with other policy considerations and evidence, the Hierarchy will therefore help inform the strategic policy options for the location and scale of new development within the new Local Plan. The purpose of this report is to outline the Settlement Hierarchy for the Sevenoaks District. The Hierarchy: Provides a brief overview of the national and local planning policy context; Describes the broad methodology used to develop the Hierarchy; and Outlines and justifies the classification of each of District’s settlements included within the Hierarchy. 2. Policy Context 2.1 National Policy Context National planning policy states that any development should take place within the most sustainable and deliverable locations. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that a series of land-planning principles should be used when undertaking plan-making and decision- taking, in order to maintain sustainable development. Paragraph 17 of the NPPF outlines the principles of development stating that “[…] every effort should be made objectively to identify and then met the housing business and other development needs of an area and respond positively to wider opportunities to grow”, while promoting “[…] mixed use developments, and encourage multiple benefits from the use of land in urban and rural areas, recognising that some open land can preform many functions (such as wildlife, recreation, flood risk mitigation, carbon storage, or food production)”.

  • Chiddingstone Hoath Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan
    Chiddingstone Hoath Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan 2012 Chiddingstone Hoath Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan The historic environment is a social asset of immense value and one of the keys to the continuing prosperity of Sevenoaks District. Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans are part of a process to ensure that we make the best use of our historic environment. They are tools for the positive management of change, not a means of preventing development. Conservation is focused on the entire historic environment, not just listed buildings. Trees, open spaces, landscape, buildings, uses, roads and streets all contribute to the character and local distinctiveness of the District’s conservation areas. The man-made environment of our conservation areas has used energy and materials moulded by people both past and present. The District Council will creatively manage the fabric of these areas in a sustainable way as a legacy for future generations. It is intended that this appraisal and management plan will inform the activities of the Council, the public and other bodies where they affect the conservation area. The Plan was approved by the District Council in January 2012 and adopted as informal planning guidance. Sevenoaks District Council is not liable for any loss or damage, however sustained, by others arising from reliance on the contents of this document. This document must not be reproduced in whole or in part without prior written permission from the Council. © Sevenoaks District Council

The High Weald is a landscape that has been shaped by man – and creatures – over generations, so we have delved into the area’s history to explore some of the last- ing “footprints” made by previous generations. Some we value and are thankful for, while others are more of a conundrum. Dinosaurs were the first to tramp the sandstones which form the underlying geology of the area – and their footprints can still be seen where the rock has been exposed. Later, the Anglo-Saxons left perhaps the most significant footprint on the landscape – the small, irregu- lar-shaped fields, scattered settlements and drove routes.

  • Sevenoaks District Council 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites 2019/20 to 2023/24 Addendum: September 2019
    Sevenoaks District Council 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites 2019/20 to 2023/24 Addendum: September 2019 1.1 This addendum has been prepared to supplement the 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites [SDC008] submitted alongside the Local Plan in April 2019. 1.2 The 5 Year Supply of Deliverable Housing Sites [SDC008] has been calculated against the local housing need of 707 units per year, in accordance with paragraph 73 of the NPPF. However, the housing requirement set out in the Local Plan is 9,410 units and this figure will replace the local housing need on adoption of the plan, in accordance with paragraph 73 of the NPPF. 1.3 This addendum therefore sets out the calculation of the 5 year supply against the Local Plan housing requirement of 588 units per year. All other aspects of the calculation (application of a 5% buffer, the number of deliverable sites, the qualifying elements of supply) remain as per document SDC008. 1.4 The calculation of the 5 year land supply requirement is set out in the table below. Component Calculation Result (units) A Annual local housing requirement N/A 588 B 5 year requirement A x 5 2,940 C 5% buffer 5% of B 147 D 5 year requirement plus 5% buffer B + C 3,087 1.5 This five year supply of deliverable housing sites assessment identifies a healthy supply of specific deliverable sites in Sevenoaks District that have the capacity to deliver 3,087 residential units in the next 5 years, and 9,410 residential units over the whole of the plan period.

Whether you’re playing soul, RnB, shuffle, different tones simultaneously). reggae, funk or electronic dance music, this foundational beat is common As the name suggests, the defining feature of this 4-to-the-floor rhythm through all styles…and of course hit the mainstream in the early 1970’s in is a strong constant bass - falling on beats 1, 2, 3 and 4. You’ll get the Disco music, with huge thanks to Earl Young’s drumming in The Trammps. strength in the bass by allowing the energy to come from your shoulders, I have adapted this groove specifically for the Cajon, however, unlike travelling down through your arm and then onto the middle top third area most Cajon playing which is linear (making only one sound at a time), on the Cajon (see illustration above). The next important feature is a strong backbeat - mimicking the snare sound on beats 2 and 4. It is here you begin the layered playing, where beats 2 and 4 have the bass and snare sounding at the same time, meaning that both hands are striking the Cajon at the same time. The snare sound is made from hitting the top left or right of the Cajon, with the middle and ring fingers creating the attack. KEY Layered Groove with Bass and Snare tones The final step is to add the hi-hat element into your groove (shown below).
