Kent Farmstead guidance
consultation
This consultation is now closed.
We will update this page at the end of August when the
documents have been amended and the final versions are
released.
The Kent Farmstead Guidance offers new assistance to help keep
Kent’s fine legacy of Historic Farmsteads in active use.
Two linked documents are provided:
- The main consultation draft Kent Farmstead Guidance provides
help in assessing the historic value of farmsteads, and shows
how best to conserve, enhance and develop them, without destroying
their value, thus ensuring their long term economic use.
- The Kent Downs AONB Farmstead Guidance provides easy access to
the generic information in the main Kent consultation draft from
specific Kent Landscape Character Areas within the Kent Downs, and
gives specific advice on rarity and significance in that
locality.
Due to the large size of the draft documents, links to copies of
the draft document for Historic Farmsteads Guidance are provided
on this
page on the Kent Downs website.
This informal consultation is seeking the views of key
stakeholders on the two draft guidance documents. We would be
pleased to receive your opinions on content, accuracy, general
usefulness and any areas not covered, including your answers to the
five questions in the questionnaire provided.
The stakeholder consultation period will run for eight weeks
from the 29 March 2011 to 24 May 2011. Download the consultation
questionnaire:
We look forward to hearing from you within this period.
Following the consultation, the documents will be amended, and
final versions released by the end of August 2011.
