  • 1.1 Ashford Borough Council (ABC); Kent County Council (KCC) Q
    Application by Highways England for an order granting development consent for the proposed M20 Junction 10a. TR01006. Ashford Borough Council’s response to Written Questions. 1.1 Ashford Borough Q Having regard to the criteria listed in para 1.2 of the NPSNN, is there any reason why the Council (ABC); Kent proposed development should not be determined in accordance with the NPSNN County Council (KCC) ABC Answer Ashford Borough Council (ABC) is not aware of any reason why the proposed development should not be determined in accordance with the criteria in paragraph 1.2 of the National Policy Statement for National Networks (NSNN), provided HE addresses the issues ABC raised through it’s relevant representations. 1.2 Applicant; ABC; KCC Q To what extent would the proposed development deliver the objectives of NPSNN to increase the capacity and improve the performance of the Strategic Road Network? ABC Answer Based on the documentation submitted by HE, ABC considers the development will deliver much needed additional capacity and will improve the performance of the Strategic Road Network. The South of Ashford Transport Study (1999) highlighted that the limited available capacity at the existing M20 Junction10 would mean that some development proposals in the then emerging Borough Local Plan 2000 would be unable to be built out unless a new 'Junction10a' could be provided. The council's current adopted development plan - the Core Strategy (2008) and Urban Sites and Infrastructure DPD (2012) place significant weight on the need for Junction10a to be delivered in order for allocated sites to be built out.

Our Year 6 children were kind, patient and thoughtful ensuring that the children they were working with were engaged in the story and giving them the opportunity to join in as well.
