Comment 25 Consultee Topic response Waste - within the Core Strategy there appears to be measures for the safeguarding of minerals, minerals sites, wharfs and railheads East Sussex however, this does not appear to be the case for waste sites. By not having a method to safeguard existing and potential waste sites, County the plan may be undermined should inappropriate development reduce the capacity available for managing waste. CDE & Aggregate Council Recycling - we note that further studies are being undertaken on the capacity of aggregate recycling facilities that may affect overall requirements. If ongoing flexibility is needed it may be appropriate to maximise the recovery of materials at temporary sites. Thurrock KCC have not made explicit whether the total waste capacity being planned for is net or gross of exports to Thurrock. We would like to Council see an explicit statement in the Core Strategy and Sites Documents that the capacity being planned for is gross of exports. Waste Sites Preferred Options Document During the plan-making phase environmental criteria policies should be developed (either in the Waste Sites Plan or in the Core Strategy), 4 Tonbridge & in line with Annex E in PPS10 - and in accordance with any national planning policy that eventually supersedes it. In particular, policies Malling and/or planning conditions should ensure that the development and operation of waste sites does not generate more traffic movements Borough than can be accommodated without significant adverse affects on the local highway network and any relevant AQMAs. Where possible, Council on-site management of waste where it arises should also be pursued, as supported

    Page 1 of 16 COUNTRYSIDE Introduction 12.1 Shepway has a rich and diverse landscape ranging from the rolling chalk downland and dry valleys of the North Downs, through the scarp and dip slope of the Old Romney Shoreline, to Romney Marsh and the unique shingle feature of the Dungeness peninsula. This diversity is reflected in the range of Natural Areas and Countryside Character Areas, identified by English Nature and the Countryside Agency respectively, which cover the District. The particular landscape and wildlife value of large parts of the District is also recognised through protective countryside designations, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Heritage Coastline, as well as the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside also plays host to a wide range of activities and it is recognised that the health of the rural economy and the health of the countryside are inter-linked. A function of the Local Plan is to achieve a sustainable pattern of development in the countryside. This involves a balance between the needs of rural land users and maintaining and enhancing countryside character and quality. 12.2 This balance is achieved in two main ways:- a. By focussing most development in urban areas, particularly on previously developed sites and ensuring that sufficient land is allocated to meet identified development requirements, thus reducing uncertainty and speculation on ‘greenfield’ sites in the countryside. b. By making firm policy statements relating to: the general principles to be applied to all proposals in the countryside; specific types of development in the countryside; and the protection of particularly important areas.

  • English Nature Research Report
    Natural Area: 41. North Downs Geological Significance: Considerable /I (provisional) General geological character: The North Downs Natural Area is dominated by Cretaceous Chalk. This very pure limestone was deposited on a tropical sea floor between 97 and 65 Ma and is composed of the skeletons of very small marine shells. Although the chalk was originally deposited as a horizontal layer or sheet of relatively uniform thickness, it has been folded by subsequent tectonic movements during the Alpine orogeny (beginning around 50 million years ago). This has buckled the horizontal sheets into the now distinctive North Downs hills. Other Crctaceous sedirnents include the marine clays of the Lower Greensand and Gault Clay (1 I2 to 97 Ma) which fringe the southern edge of the Downs. The Downs arc dissectcd in many places by networks of dry valleys, cut when the periglacial climates of the Quaternary (the last 2 million years) allowed the Downs to carry surface streams. Some of these dry valleys contain ephemeral streams which are the product of seasonal fluctuations in the levels of the chalk aquifer. The summits of the South Ilowns often display pure chalk in places where the weathering mantle of clay-with- flints IS absent although natural exposures are rare. The footslope of the Downs is masked by periglacial solifluction deposits, known as Coombe Rock. These deposits were washed down the hill slopes of the Downs during periods of surface weathering as a result of the intense periglacial climates during this time. Exposures of the Cretaceous rocks are rare except where they form the coastal cliffs in the east of the area.
