Site Location 1. The development is proposed to sit within the confines of the existing Kemsley Mill site, which lies to the north of Sittingbourne and within the defined built up area boundary. It is a prominent and recognisable feature of the town’s landscape, and visible from numerous locations on both the mainland and the Isle of Sheppey. 2. The Swale (a coastal SSSI and SPA designated for its biodiversity value, particularly for migratory birds) lies to the east/southeast of the site beyond areas of open ground, and public footpath ZU1 (the Saxon Shore Way) approximately follows the coastline past the mill. To the south of the mill is Castle Rough, a scheduled monument (HER Number: TQ 96 NW 10) comprising a Danish fortress / medieval moated manor house that is now largely subsumed by the landscape and apparent only through changing land levels. 3. To the west of the site is an agricultural field, beyond which lies Swale Way (a main arterial road through Sittingbourne).

  • VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE and ECONOMIC IMPACT a Report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004
    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.

So what’s it’s secret? Early settlers were the first to recognise its prime waterside location and a settlement quickly grew up here at the head of the navigable creek, with quick and easy access to Europe in one direction and London in the other. The soil around the creeks and rivers was rich and fertile, pure spring water was readily available from local aquifers, and the climate was dry and temperate. Sailing ships in Faversham Creek Caroline Millar © RGS-IBG Discovering Britain This gentle creekside walk takes you on a journey of discovery from the grand Victorian station through the medieval centre of town then out through its post-industrial edgelands to encounter the bleak beauty of the Kent marshes.

  • Disabled People and the National Cycle Network
    This information sheet is also available in large type. INFORMATION SHEET FF05 JUNE 1998 Disabled people and the National Cycle Network 1 Introduction Over 6 million people in Britain have some form of disability (1) and they often find themselves excluded from the activities that other people take for granted because their needs have not been addressed at the planning stages of key projects. In partnership with Sustrans, Local Authorities and other organisations all over the UK are developing the National Cycle Network which we believe will bring a whole range of benefits to many disabled people. This document addresses issues Smedley Toby relating to its use by disabled people. Traffic free routes benefit walkers and cyclists of all abilities and wheelchair users. We know that there are genuine concerns voiced by different users, and cyclists of all abilities and including disabled people, about wheelchair users.
