• The design of the proposed wall has been amended, following conservation comments.
• The Design Access, and Heritage Statement has also been updated to reflect the conservation officer's comments. This includes additional information / photos on existing garden wall details that can be found around Edenbridge House to help justify the decision to use the tile topped piers.

12 Consultations

12.1 Sevenoaks Urban Area Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) Consultation

Sevenoaks District Council has commissioned Sustrans to provide a comprehensive Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for the Sevenoaks Urban Area. The plan will detail potential walking and cycling routes to encourage the community and visitors to move more sustainably around the area. The development of the LCWIP includes an analysis of existing conditions, consultation with stakeholders and conducting an audit to develop recommendations and plans to use as the basis of funding bids.

To assist with the consultation process, Sustrans have developed a digital Community Mapping Tool for the public and stakeholders. Participants can comment on the map, identifying barriers to walking and cycling, as well as potential cycle routes and walking zones. The GDPRcompliant mapping software allows users to leave as many comments as they like, whilst identifying unique participants and other demographic data, to evidence engagement. Users can identify the following on the interactive map:

• Physical barriers to walking, cycling and wheeling in the area e.g. major roads and junctions, railways
• Potential cycle routes that could connect key origins and destinations Potential walking zones where there is a high level of pedestrian activity e.g. high streets, schools, busy pedestrian crossings
