I attach a copy of the draft Scheme and a glossary of terms used. I am sending a copy to all the statutory interested parties, as the Mission and Pastoral Measure requires, and any others with an interest in the proposals. Anyone may make representations for or against all or any part or parts of the draft Scheme (please include the reasons for your views) by post or, preferably, by email to reach me no later than midnight on Monday 4 January 2021. If we have not acknowledged receipt of your representation before this date, please ring or e-mail me to ensure it has been received. For administrative purposes, a petition will be classed as a single representation and we will only correspond with the sender of the petition, if known, or otherwise the first signatory for whom we can identify an address – “the primary petitioner”. If we do not receive representations against the draft Scheme, we will make the Scheme and it will come into effect as it provides.

  • Present: Cllr R Evison, Cllr R Whiting, Cllr A
    HACKINGTON PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF HACKINGTON PARISH ASSEMBLY HELD AT TYLER HILL MEMORIAL HALL AT 7.00pm ON THURSDAY 14th March 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Present: Cllr. R Evison (Chairman); Cllr. B. Fitter-Harding; Cllr. A. Cover; Cllr. T. Hulks; Cllr. N. Cronin and D Horswell (Clerk). Also present: Ward Cllr. G. Metcalfe; County Cllr. Robert Thomas and twenty two residents. Apologies for Absence: Ward Cllr. Amy Baker. The Chairman opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the Parish Assembly. An update was given by Paul Leary (KCC Highways Officer) on the traffic survey which had been carried out by KCC on Canterbury Hill. This had been conducted on 27th November 2018 and had recorded data on the stretch of the road from Calais Hill to Giles Lane. The average speed of the traffic had been found to be well within the 40mph speed limit, however, Members of the Parish Council pointed out that the rush hour traffic obviously skews the average speed. Residents had the opportunity, through the Chairman, to ask questions and voice their concerns to Paul. Suitable measures which would be allowable for traffic calming were discussed and KCC were asked for recommendations that could be put before the Parish Council for discussion. The problem of the narrowness of the footpath on Canterbury Hill and a suggestion of the hedges and vegetation being needed to be cut back and removed to allow for extra width for the safety of pedestrians was expressed. Paul is to take all the issues and suggestions by the Parish Council and residents back to KCC for implementation.

INFORMATION FROM MATTERS ARISING 4(8) – Cllr Treacher reported that the Manston Airport Judicial Review hearing set for 16-17 February 2021 will now not take place after the Department for Transport confirmed it will not contest the case. The Department for Transport has acknowledged that the original decision approval letter issued from the Secretary of State did not contain enough detail about why approval was given against the advice of the Planning Inspectorate. The approval has therefore been quashed and a new decision will need to be issued in due course after a re-examination of the Planning Inspectorate evidence, with an opportunity for further representations to be submitted from both sides.

The main field was also surveyed topographically with a Leica 1200 series GPS with smartnet. The survey was undertaken with the aim of revealing a greater extent of the features discovered through aerial photographic evidence as well as to extend the geomagnetic survey begun in 2011. The area included the remaining extent of the eastern half of the field previously surveyed in 2011 up to the field boundaries and the Nailbourne Stream. Large-scale archaeological features and limited geological features were re- vealed. Walls of possible Roman buildings show with some clarity as negative linear anomalies.
