Upchurch Parish Council Report - March 2012
The Parish Council met on Thursday 2nd February in the Hall of Holywell Primary School where 6 Councillors were present and 7 members of the public including PSCO Platt.
Public Time – PCSO Platt reported that PCSO McCall will no longer be the PCSO for Upchurch. We await details of her replacement. Bus Shelter – One resident commented on the bus shelter recently installed in Lower Halstow and hoped that Upchurch would have one soon. One resident asked for further information on the questionnaire carried out by a resident supporting the bus shelter. Another resident reminded members that the proposed location was opposite a beautiful church and the Old School. He feared that the shelter would attract anti-social behaviour. Another resident explained that he had carried out a survey of the number of people using the bus during the last month. He reported that apart from the school children, normally 18, the 9:29 bus had the most people waiting for it, usually 5. However most of the time, there was no-one waiting for the bus. He commented that it would have to be a large shelter to accommodate 18 school children. Rural Needs Housing – A resident commented that issues with car parking in the centre of the village and the demand on school places needed to be considered in relation to this scheme.

Correspondence – Village Hall Management Committee – A letter expressing thanks for the Councils generous offer of a grant of £3,000 towards the cost of removing asbestos. War Memorial – An email from a resident seeking the Councils comments on an Upchurch War Memorial. Members discussed this suggestion and commented on the memorials at the church i.e. the Church Clock, the tablet inside the Lady Chapel and the war graves in the Churchyard. Cllr New asked for a copy of the email.
Planning - The following applications will be considered by the Planning Review Team and reported at the next Parish Council Meeting:
SW/12/0079 39 Oak Lane – Proposed two storey side and rear extension
SW/12/0058 Hursell Farm, Chaffes Lane – Change of use of site to allow the siting of a gypsy mobile home with associated parking and amenity space (retrospective)
Permissions and Refusals – the following decisions have been received:
permission granted:
SW/11/0949 79 Chaffes Lane – Retrospective application for amendments to scheme approved under SW/10/0762 comprising additional bedroom and en-suite in loft space together with roof lights and light tube in roof slopes, barn hip to rear gable and porthole window to garden room
Permission refused:
SW/11/1296 Frogs Farm, Susans Lane – Retrospective application for the building of an agricultural barn
Other Planning matters – Rural Needs Housing - The working group reported that holding a drop in event would be more productive than arranging a referendum. Members discussed various ways this event could be organised. It was suggested that at this event, residents could be given the opportunity to vote for the Parish Council to continue with the housing scheme and if so, which site they would prefer to be put forward. Another suggestion was to ask residents to vote on a site selected by the Parish Council. It was agreed that the working group needed to meet with Alison Thompson (English Rural Housing Association) and Tessa O’Sullivan (Action with Communities in Rural Kent) to discuss the next steps.
Finance – Cheque for approval & signature – It was agreed that a cheque to the sum of £3,000 to Upchurch Village Hall Fund be signed.
Allotments and Recreation Ground – Water usage at the Allotments - Cllr Apps confirmed that the water had been turned off and that there was no leak. He explained that the amount of water used in the three month period at the end of last year had been high but could not explain why. Members discussed various suggestions to tackling this issue. Cllr Apps will report back when the water is turned back on.
Paddock – External hedge– Cllr Catford reported that this would need cutting back shortly and would liaise with the Clerk as to the timing of this.
Burial Ground and Churchyard – Tree Related Subsidence at 2 Horsham Lane –The Council will be obtaining a quote for the removal of the trees adjacent to this property as requested in the report issued by Oriel Services Ltd. It is claimed that these trees are causing damage to this property. Yew Tree in Burial Ground – A tree surgeon will be consulted regarding cutting back this tree and the Clerk will find out if this tree has a TPO.
Environment – Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations – The sub-committee reported their ideas for these celebrations which included an all-faiths service on Sunday afternoon, a family event on Sunday morning and gifts for the children. Cllr Rossiter had brought two sample mugs to show members the style and design chosen by the committee. Also, an example of the logo and wording was distributed. Village Clean up day – Cllr Catford explained that as the village cleaner was carrying out an excellent job, it was not necessary to organise a clean-up day this year. Cllr Lewin reported that he had forwarded a request to Swale BC for a litter pick in Oak Lane.
Highways – Proposed Bus Shelter – It was commented that further research was required on the design of a bus shelter. Cllr New offered to lead a small sub-group who could investigate further a suitable design for the bus shelter. This could then be reviewed by the Parish Council before consulting the Conservation Officer. It was suggested that then a consultation event could be held. The Clerk will obtain ideas for designs of bus shelters and along with Cllr New investigate further with two or three residents. An email had been received from a resident strongly objecting to the planning of a bus shelter to be constructed in Horsham Lane/The Street. Letters of concern had also been received from residents living opposite the proposed location, along with results of a survey carried out in January.
Next meetings – 1st March 2012 and 29th March 2012, starting at 7.30pm in the Hall of Holywell Primary School. Please note that the Annual Parish Meeting will be held at the Village Hall on Thursday 26th April starting at 7.30pm where refreshments will be available after the meeting. Everyone is welcome.

Memories of Working at Horsham Farm
Milking the cows, looking after the pigs, sheep and bull, Bob Bearup who has lived in Upchurch all his life, loved his work at Horsham Farm where he started as a school leaver in 1958.
Horsham Farm consisted of 100 acres of land and was managed by Lyn Jenkins who employed several other men. These included Sid Jenkins, ‘Nutty Gransden’, Terry Tomkins and Bob Trice. Kath Jenkins, Lyn’s wife, also helped out. The farmland and house were rented from Rugby Portland Cement Company and the farm produced milk and beef with a herd of 25 to 30 Sussex cows. Sheep and pigs were also produced. Mrs Bearup and Mrs Sketchley from Chaffes Lane and Mrs Trice from Drakes Close were regular seasonal workers who prepared the Christmas fowl annually in December.
“I had always wanted to work with animals”, he says. “I could have gone to college to learn more about it but ‘Nutty’ Gransden who taught me everything about livestock at the farm advised me not to. I later got diplomas in dairy and beef production by studying full time. This qualified me as a stockman in those areas”
“The day began at 5 a.m. with the milking of cows”, says Bob. “This was followed by breakfast. After that the sheds were cleaned out and washed then the young stock fed. Next, the main work of the day took place with haymaking in summer which I hated because I was away from the animals. Afternoon milking took place at 3 p.m. then the sheds were cleaned out again before the day ended.”

A fatal disaster almost occurred when Lyn Jenkins got gored by the farm bull. After instructing the workers not to go into the pen unaccompanied, he broke his own rule when he entered it alone. The bull immediately charged and knocked him to the ground then began goring him. Bob says, “Terry Tomkins and I tried to help after Lyn shouted out. As I wrestled with the bull it dragged me towards the farm building. I knew I had to do something quickly otherwise if it pinned me against the wall I was finished. I managed to grab its nose ring and twist it hard until the animal fell on its side.” Lyn Jenkins luckily escaped with superficial injuries while Bob remained uninjured.
There was also a comical side to the work and Bob remembers haymaking on the hay cart with Eric Woolley and Terry Tomkins when a wheel came off and all of them were flung to the ground amongst the hay which ended in laughter after an awkward moment.
Horsham Farm finally ceased production in 1984 due to pressures of the European Economic Community after operating as a working farm for centuries. The house with eight acres was sold to a private buyer while the remaining farmland was rented to Bill Barling from Poot Lane. Although Bob was sad about the farm closure he describes his experience there as, “One of the best times of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.”
David Wood, who was born and raised in Upchurch and is able to write from personal experience about many people and aspects of the village and of changes that have taken place over the years making ‘Memories of Upchurch’ a very readable book and a detailed historical study of the village.

The History of Poot Lane
 |
| Memories of Upchurch. |
During the early 19th century land at the top end of the lane was owned by Rainham farmer Thomas Dodd then later by Wakeley Brothers who established a brick works on Brick Hill in 1862. The brick works existed into the 20th century and a tram line connected it to Twinney and Lower Halstow creeks from where bricks were transported to different locations by barge. At Wetham Green the line branched off and doubled back to a sand pit located opposite The Poles. On the bottom left of Brick Hill is Piwit Marsh. This served as the home of Ham Green Cricket Club during the 1920s and then Upchurch Cricket Club and Upchurch Football Club during the 1950s.
Until the last part of the 19th century only two houses existed in the lane. Poot House has stood at the village end since the 1830s, Yew Tree Cottage at the lower end since the 17th century. Bayford House which lies back from the road on the bottom left is an interesting building made almost entirely of concrete and was constructed single handedly by inventor Mr Mantle in the early 1900s. He also established the Bayford Ironworks Company on the adjacent marsh in 1911. All that remains of this is an old brick built foundry, used as a fruit store for many years and owned by A Hinge & Sons. Bayford Farm which is situated nearby provided the village with milk for many years. This is situated just beyond Poot Lane and has been owned and run by the Barling family since the 1920s.
In the lower part of Poot Lane 150 acres of land were presented to the parish of Lower Halstow by the owners during the 18th century. This land was returned to Upchurch in 1882 but it wasn’t until 1961 that residents there had rights to baptisms, marriages or burials at Upchurch church. The lower left area of Poot Lane was once part of the Sharpneth’s estate, a 500 acre area incorporating Burntwick Island but during the 18th century it was dissected by the river and a large amount of land was lost. The orchard on the bottom left of Poot Lane is still known as ‘Sharps.’
During World War Two Poot Lane became a focal point for German fighter planes as anti aircraft gun positions and an army camp were established there. The lane became the most heavily bombed part of the parish during the war with some unexploded bombs still buried deep in the ground.
Familiar long term residents of Poot Lane during the 20th century have included farmers Charles Barling, Harry Witherden, Bob Witherden, Alf (Snapper) Clark, Bert Moon, golf club owners Bill and David Barling, bulldog breeder Dick Shrubsole, Georgine Gordon-Smith, Bett Kitney, Florrie Clark and the Hannigan family. These days there are more dwellings including Tanzor Riding Stables meaning that horse riders are now a familiar sight along the lane.

Upchurch Parish Council Report - January and February 2012
The Parish Council met on Thursday 1st December in the Hall of Holywell Primary School where 7 Councillors were present and 3 members of the public.
Planning - The following applications were considered:
SW/11/1150 6 Wallbridge Lane – Change of use to a residential unit caring for young mothers - babies. A further response will be submitted to Swale BC. Concern was expressed that some information was still not known, for example, who is behind this planning application, who is going to run the unit? It was noted that the service users would be voluntarily accommodated under S20 of the Children Act 1989 which stated that “Every local authority shall provide accommodation for any child in need within their area...” However, it was commented that they were not aware of any need being identified, therefore it was requested that this evidence of “need” be reported.
Permission granted:
SW/11/1161 Redbrick Cottage, Poot Lane – Rear extension. To be used as a plant room (To house oil storage & boiler)
vi) Proposal to hold a private party for Scout Leaders, Committee Members and Supporters of the Scout Group on 31 December 2011 at Upchurch Scout Group Headquarters, Drake Lodge Recreation Ground, Oak Lane – There were no objections.
Rural Needs Housing – Members discussed a request from a resident asking that a full declaration of interest be made by each councillor on the working party. It was agreed that sufficient checks were in place to ensure that they all behaved properly in relation to this proposal. Members noted a suggestion forwarded by Tessa O’Sullivan (ACRK) that it may be viable to build 8 to 10 units. Alison Thompson (ERHA) had also agreed that this might be possible and that the site next to Holywell Primary School could be considered. However, the Planning Officer at Swale BC had commented that it would need to be demonstrated that the other, more preferable sites originally identified, were not able to come forward, and also state the reason. Support for this site would also be subject to the design, bulk and scale of the proposed houses and how they relate to their surroundings. It was decided that the working group would meet to discuss this and report back at the next Parish Council meeting.
Administration – Annual Parish Meeting – This has been arranged for Thursday 26th April 2012 at 7.30pm in the main hall of Upchurch Village Hall. Everyone is welcome and wine and nibbles will be available after the meeting.
Allotments and Recreation Ground – Bonfire at Allotments – Members considered a request by a resident to stipulate times of the day when bonfires were allowed at the Allotments. It was suggested that allotment holders were reminded to show consideration to the neighbours and ensure that bonfires were not left unattended.
Paddock –Dumping of garden waste – The Council would like to remind everyone that garden waste must not be disposed of in the Paddock and that it is considered as fly tipping.
Burial Ground and Churchyard – St Marys Churchyard – footpath to Burial Ground - Members were informed that a quote had been received from First Highways Ltd.
Environment – Queens Diamond Jubilee – Please do consider joining the committee. They are hoping to plan an event which would be suitable for all ages. If you are interested, please contact the Clerk. Rural Broadband – Please consider completing a “needs” survey that is currently being carried out by KCC. You can access this by entering KCC Broadband in the search engine.
The Parish Council met on Thursday 5th January 2012 in the Hall of Holywell Primary School where 7 Councillors were present and 4 members of the public.
Planning
SW/11/1527 39 Oak Lane – Two storey side and rear extension – No objections.
SW/11/1520 81 Beckenham Park, Otterham Quay Lane – Laying of hardstanding to provide disabled parking bay – No objections.
SW/11/1296 Frogs Farm, Susans Lane – Retrospective application for the building of an agricultural barn - No objections.
Permission granted:
SW/11/1263 16 Oak Lane – Renewal of SW/08/0942 for single storey side and rear extension
SW/11/1160 Field to the rear of 32/62 Hartlip Hill – Variation of condition 4 of SW/11/0653 to allow 3 mobile field shelters and two horse trailers
SW/11/1394 1 Macklands Cottage, Otterham Quay Lane – Erection of single storey conservatory to rear
SW/11/1369 8 Drakes Close – To convert an integral garage into a habitable room and alteration to front elevation to remove garage door and replace with brick and window.
Rural Needs Housing - The working group had met to discuss the next steps. They recommended that members consider the two sites at the next meeting and agree which one to pursue further for this scheme. There would be an opportunity for members to discuss the site selection at the next meeting before a vote was taken. Then there would be a public meeting to further discuss the site selected. Following this public meeting, a referendum would be arranged. Residents would be asked whether they would like the scheme to go ahead or not. It was made clear that no decision would be made until the Council had received the results of the referendum. The Council has yet to decide how the results of the referendum will be interpreted.
Finance – Village Hall Asbestos Problem - It was agreed to forward a grant of £3,000 towards the cost of asbestos removal. Budget/Precept 2012/13 – It was agreed to submit a 0% increase in the precept.
Burial Ground and Churchyard – St Marys Churchyard – Members noted confirmation from the PCC that they would be willing to contribute half the cost for widening the footpath.
Environment - Poplars at front of Oak Lane and corner of Wallbridge Lane – A letter from Upchurch River Valley Golf Course explaining that during January they proposed to top out the Poplars. They requested that residents did not park on the site line during January. Queens Diamond Jubilee – Members are considering removing the tree stump in the Paddock and replanting a tree to mark the Queens Diamond Jubilee.
Highways – Proposed Bus Shelter - Advice from Conservation Officer at Swale BC had been received. However, members were concerned that the designs he had suggested were all made of wood. Therefore the Clerk will forward him a copy of the design which the Council was considering. Also results of a questionnaire prepared by a resident supporting the need for a bus shelter were circulated.
Next meetings – 2nd February and 1st March. Meetings start at 7.30pm and are held in the school Hall of Holywell Primary School.
