Diary of an endangered environment

Once upon a time there was a very beautiful 12th Century church, serving a small rural community in Kent. This church is now a Grade 1 listed building and nestles in countryside, protected from the surrounding network of roads by stands of trees and agricultural land.

 

All that is likely to change if  planning application 14/00906/AS is passed, when the agricultural land will be concreted over and large warehouses, open 24hrs a day, will swamp the little church.

 

Today is a damp and gloomy day in mid March. Despite the weather, there is a serene beauty to the church and  here are some views  which will be lost forever if this planning application goes ahead..
