The Neighbourhood Plan has been coordinated and written in conjunction with residents of Thanington, and other bodies, by Thanington Parish Council. (TPC) It takes the four key objective areas in the Neighbourhood Plan. it describes the current situation for these, and also lays out a vison for the future in these key objectives. Taking into account the recent and proposed development planned in Thanington. It lays out aspects that should be con- sidered in these objectives for any future as yet unplanned developments by the Local Authority, Canterbury City Council (CCC), and the District Authority, Kent County Council (KCC) The sections below summarises the points made in the Neighbourhood Plan for Thanington, par- ticularly the key four objectives. It covers each objective in turn. SUMMARY POINTS BY OBJECTIVE: 1/ TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY COMMUNITY TO BE COMPLETED 2/ TO CONSERVE THE NATURAL AND HISTORICAL ENVIROMENT Key points: Landscape & Biodiversity: Maintain the level of green space available including allotments Maintain and protect open spaces Only developments that can show true environmental sustainability should be progressed with Support and maintain the Green Gap policy Maintain and support land used for agricultural use Support independent surveys on the impact of development on the natural environment Protect Historical sites and assess the true impact of any proposed development on them. Visual Impact: Genuine consideration and assessment should be given to the visual impact of any develop- ment including on historical sites Light & Noise Pollution: Light pollution on the overall area must be considered in any development proposals The impact of noise pollution caused by and proposed development must be given genuine consideration 3 Thanington Neighbourhood Plan 2020 Climate Change: The flood risk area along the lower Stour must not be increased by any development and must be genuinely assessed by associated agencies. Air pollution particularly along the A28 must not be increased by any proposed developments and genuinely assessed if necessary by independent assessment. Acton should be taken to decrease the level of air pollution when considering air pollution from any development Any development should be designed to be carbon neutral. The impact on utility services, like sewage and drainage, also assessed and genuinely mitigat- ed for in the planning assessment 3/ TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT INFRASTUCTURE Key points: Modal Shift Transport systems: The local bus services, including the Park & Ride at Wincheap, need to give consideration re- garding the service provided to the rural areas of the Community. Such that they can be easily accessed in an efficient way that provides a reliable service encouraging proactive use. New developments must give serious provision for these services that support this general strategy Cycle ways and walkways must be maintained, preserved, and expanded to encourage their effective use. New developments should not have a negative impact on their use, but have genuine design inclusions for this in their planning. Measures such as secure cycle storage and parking should be considered and included in any development proposals and also in the existing network. Thereby encouraging short dis- tance cycling. Parking & Traffic: Any new development must have genuine assessment made on its impact on traffic. Prefera- bly with an independent assessment made of that overall impact both local and outside the development area . Not just a parochial approach on the individual development. New development should include all measures to reduce the increase and impact on traffic. This must include infrastructure improvements. The local community views and knowledge must be considered regarding traffic impact when considering development applications. The impact of parking, and the provision of sufficient parking spaces on any development must be given sufficient consideration particularly any impact on local existing area park- ing. There is evidence of lack of parking provision in modern developments. When considering car parking, measures such as vehicle charging points, should be included in both existing development areas and also new developments. The consideration of YELLOW LINE designated areas on the road network should be consid- ered and if necessary used, to ensure safe and effect use of the road network Traffic mitigation measures regarding any proposed development must be provided at a time that deals with the issues upfront and in a way that guarantees their delivery. 4 Thanington Neighbourhood Plan 2020 4/TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THAT DELIVERS FOR THE COMMINI- TY THE PROMISED BENEFITS OF THAT DEVELOPMENT TO BE COMPLETED 5 Thanington Neighbourhood Plan 2020 1 INTRODUCTION (24/4/21) 1.1 This Neighbourhood Plan sets out the vision for Thanington Parish until 2035.

  • Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without
    Welcome to the Parish of Thanington Without Thanington Without Parish Council extends a warm welcome to you! Thanington Within Civil Council was created, in 1894, from part of Thanington Ancient Parish in Canterbury County Borough. By 1912, it was entirely abolished and the area given to Canterbury Civil Parish. From 1918, for Parliamentary purposes, both Thanington Within and Thanington Without came in the Canterbury Division/County Constituency. Thanington Without Civil Parish was also created, in 1894, from the part of the Parish not in the Canterbury County Borough. Local Government responsibilities were exercised by the Bridge Poor Law Union and Rural District (1894-1934), later, Bridge-Blean Rural District Council (1934-1974). Milton Ancient Parish became part of Thanington Without Civil Parish in 1932. The first recorded Annual Parish Meeting was held on August 11th 1899 in a Thanington Schoolroom. Following the 1933 Local Government Act, Kent County Council ordered that there should be a Parish council for the rural parish of Thanington Without. A Parish Meeting held on 19th February 1935 elected 7 Parish Councillors (to come into office on 15th April 1935). The Parish functioned unchanged for nearly 50 years, although the area changed considerably in size. In the 1980’s the Local Government Boundary Commission reviewed parish boundaries. With effect from 1st April 1987, the Parish doubled in size, from some nine hundred electors to about two thousand. This meant that there would be seven representatives from the North Ward and two from the South Ward. The Parish boundary runs along the centre of the A2 by-pass, crosses Hollow Lane to the Canterbury to London railway-line, and then runs south, of the line to the A28, after passing through Howfield Farm to the eastern side of Howfield Manor.

Although in 1638, when Robert, George and Joseph Merriam, the sons of William Merriam, of Hadlow, in Kent, emigrated, and settled at Concord in Massachusetts, there were living at several places in Kent, as is shown by these evidences, a number of people bearing the name, it has now, as far as is known, quite died out in that county, and as regards the English branch, altogether in England.

  • Minutes Were Kept in a Specially Prepared and Numbered Minute
    THANINGTON WITHOUT CIVIL PARISH AND COUNCIL AS SEEN FROM THEIR MINUTE BOOKS 1894-1994 Tracing the development of a parish and its Council is not easy. Neither constituents nor historians pay them much attention. And although there are many sources, including the recollections of parishioners, they are often not easily available. And memories are often fallible. However, we can get some way towards understanding them through their minute books. For, while these are far from complete records, they do allow us an insight into the organization and attitudes of a Council as it emerged from the changing pattern of local government in England. For Civil Parishes have never been able to decide their own organization. This has been laid down by national legislation. In other words, they are creatures of Parliament. In the case of Thanington Without the minute books allow us to trace the evolution of both the original Parish Meeting and its successor and, after 1935, of the Parish Council itself. So after looking at the nature of our sources, we can look at the legal framework of local government which created and modified civil parishes. We can also gain some impression of how it was that, over a hundred years ago, two civil parishes were, briefly, created in Thanington. While we know little of Thanington Within we can trace the gradual evolution of activity and organization in Thanington Without. The minute books also show us something of what the Council felt about its place in the scheme of local government. They are an even better source for tracing the issues facing the Parish and the Council over the years and the impact that social change and contemporary events have had on them.
