Strategic Allocation Sites Land at Cliffsend, Ramsgate Page iii Transport Appraisal 1 Introduction 1.1 PT Planners (PTP) has been appointed by E. Spanton Farms Ltd to advise on the transport issues associated with three potential housing allocation sites under its ownership located at Cliffs End, Ramsgate, Kent. These sites are: (i) Site A, land to the south of Cottington Road (ii) Site B, land to the north of Cottington Road (iii) Site C, land to the south of Canterbury Road West (A253) 1.2 Figure 1.1 illustrates the location for these sites in relation to Cliffsend and the local highway network. In combination, they have the potential to deliver 600 – 800 dwellings depending on the housing densities with the majority being accommodated within Sites A to C. In addition, land owned by E. Spanton Farms Ltd is in the process of being acquired by Kent County Council for the purpose of developing the proposed Thanet Parkway Station, with a small residual section being potentially available for the development of 30-40 dwellings and / or the provision of local facilities. This is located to the south of the A299 Hengist Way. 1.3 The land owner has previously made representations in support of these sites to the 2013 Thanet District Council Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) and the 2015 Draft Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation, as part of the overall Local Plan Review process. This resulted in a portion of sites A to C being allocated for housing within the Draft Local Plan with planning applications submitted and outline consent being achieved for each site. The Council has therefore accepted that these sites are a suitable location for residential development in transport and land use planning terms with reference to National and its own Local Plan policies. Table 1.1 provides a description of each site and outlines the scale of consented development. Land at Cliffsend, Ramsgate Page 1 Transport Appraisal Table 1.1: Cliffsend, Proposed Housing Allocations Site Description Allocation Ref Planning Consented Application Ref Units Land South of A253 S468/435(1) TH/17/0152 65 Cliffsend Land North of S435(2) TH/17/0151 41 Cottington Road (West of Beech Grove) Land South of S416/S561 TH/17/0150 23 Cottington Road 1.4 For sites A to C in combination outline permission for 129 dwellings has been granted. This however represents a limited proportion of the potential housing numbers that each site could deliver which is in the range 600 – 800 dwellings in total, including the residual land adjacent to the Parkway Station. Within the Draft Local Plan the Council has taken the decision to make strategic allocations elsewhere within the district at Westwood, Birchington on Sea, Westgate on Sea, Manston Court / Haine Road, Manston Green and Hartsdown / Shottendane. The Council envisages that that these sites in combination could realise up to 7500 dwellings over the plan period to 2031. 1.5 The proposed Cliffsend allocation sites lie in close proximity to a significant new public transport hub being developed in Thanet, the Parkway Station. This will provide frequent rail and bus services to existing and future residents within Cliffsend and presents the opportunity for the development of new local facilities supported by rail passengers and new housing. The station will therefore significantly improve the sustainability of the Cliffsend area in transport terms. Set against this background this Transport Appraisal assesses in transport terms the suitability of sites A – C to accommodate significantly more housing than presently consented i.e. up to 800 units as an alternative to the strategic housing sites allocated within the Draft Local Plan. The report includes the following scope of work. (i) A review of the National and Local sustainable transport and land use planning policies relevant to the Cliffsend allocations and the site’s level of compliance with policy. Land at Cliffsend, Ramsgate Page 2 Transport Appraisal (ii) Presenting details for an access strategy for each site by all modes of transport with a particular focus on sustainable modes and proposed connections to the Thanet Parkway Station. (iii) A review of the transport issues associated with development of the proposed Cliffsend allocations and Local Plan Strategic housing allocations drawing on the data and assessments contained within the Draft Thanet District Transport Strategy. This review establishes whether the Cliffsend allocations will be a more suitable location for new housing with respect to sustainable travel and the potential impact on the local highway network. 1.6 The report should be read in conjunction with previous transport submissions made by PTP in support of the proposed Cliffsend allocations and further to this introduction is structured as follows: Section 2.0, Policy Context: Outlines the national and local transport policies and strategies relevant to the allocation sites set out within the NPPF, Thanet District Council Draft Local Plan and Draft Thanet District Transport Strategy. Section 3.0, Proposed Allocations: Provides a description of sites A to C the surrounding area, the local highway network and the facilities available to facilitate access by modes of transport other than the car. It then puts forward an access strategy for each site by all transport modes, including connections to the proposed Thanet Parkway Station. This section includes details for the consented development at each site and the Parkway Station proposals, drawing on the Transport Assessment recently submitted in support of the Station planning application. Section 4.0, Policy Compliance: Taking into account the proposed access strategy and proximity to the Parkway Station this section reviews the sites compliance with the sustainable transport policies and strategies outlined within the NPPF and the Thanet District Draft Local Plan / Transport Strategy. Land at Cliffsend, Ramsgate Page 3 Transport Appraisal Section 5.0, Transport Appraisal: Undertakes a review of the transport issues associated with development of the proposed Cliffsend allocations and Local Plan Strategic Allocations drawing on the data and assessments contained within the Draft Thanet District Transport Strategy. This Section also establishes whether the Cliffsend allocations will be a more suitable location for new housing with respect to sustainable travel and the potential impact on the local highway network. Section 6.0, Summary and Conclusions: Presents a summary of the report and draws together its conclusions. Land at Cliffsend, Ramsgate Page 4 Transport Appraisal 2 Policy Context 2.1 This section provides an overview of the current national and local transport policies / objectives which relate to the proposed allocation sites. 2.2 The documents reviewed in this section are: (i) The National Planning Policy Framework, Revised 2018; (ii) The Thanet District Draft Local Plan; (iii) The Thanet District Transport Strategy 2nd Draft 2018. National Planning Policy Framework, Revised 2018 2.3 The Government’s Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) originally published the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in March 2012. A revised version was published in July 2018. Section 9 of the NPPF deals with promoting sustainable transport and recommends at Paragraph 102 that: “Transport issues should be considered from the earliest stages of plan-making and development proposals, so that: a) the potential impacts of development on transport networks can be addressed; b) opportunities from existing or proposed

  • The Geology of Pegwell
    The Geology of Pegwell Bay by Peter Golding In the past few years, clearance work has taken place to re-expose part of the classic coastal cliffs in Pegwell Bay, southwest of Ramsgate on the Isle of Thanet in Kent. The work, initiated by English Nature under their Face Lift programme, was organised by Thanet Council and used a local contractor. Kent RIGS Group also pro- vided assistance and is now regularly maintaining the cleared sections. Interest is focused on three aspects of the degraded cliffs: 1. 0.9km stretch of Palaeocene sediments with overlying Pleistocene brickearth in cliffs below the car park at TR 350642 2. Palaeocene-Cretaceous unconformity at Redcliff Point, TR 354644 3. The adjacent Pleistocene filled channel. Pegwell Bay has a long history of accretion and cliff abandonment. Whitaker (1872) refers to the Palaeocene cliffs as “much overgrown and hidden by fallen earth”. Rapid growth of scrub followed construction of the Hover- port in the 1970s and part of the section was permanently lost under the access road. In contrast, Redcliff Point was actively eroded at this time and the section there was “probably better exposed than for some time previous- ly” (Ward 1977). However, silting returned and the unconformity and filled channel at Redcliff Point were almost totally obscured until the cleaning of February 2005. Phase 1 in the winter of 2002/2003 saw the removal of scrub and talus from three 30metre sections below the car park. These reveal at the top of the cliff up to 4 metres of brickearth (loess) which stands in a typically vertical face with rough prismatic jointing.

  • Expression of Opposition to Riveroak Strategic Partnership's DCO David
    Expression of Opposition to RiverOak Strategic Partnership’s DCO David Drozdowski, Margate Resident I put it to the UK government that it is not romantic, subjective, theoretical ideas about how “This time, Manston Airport can make it” that should be considered but common sense, face value- based observations. In light of Manston Airports past failures, RSP’s lack of corroboration of their lofty predictions or even experience, and Thanet District Council’s economic and environmental records, it seems obvious that the MOST needed and viable proposal is not RiverOak Strategic Partnership. If somebody prefers RiverOak Strategic Partnership’s proposal, confirmation bias can then find them ways in which a new airport plan is not completely absurd or entirely unsustainable. It’s not that it’s an irrelevant or irrational proposal. The issue, however, is that there are many ways in which the RSP DCO is an inferior proposal for Thanet economically, environmentally, or ethically. 1. Economically and Environmentally Inferior Even a successful airport would bring in some business and tax revenue as well as long-term jobs to Thanet, but what would bring far more income into Thanet is 3000+ homes, each household having a VERY conservative average £20,000 or more annual income, which would bring a £60,000,000+ influx of annual income to Thanet (more likely £100,000,000 or more) from wherever people move and to wherever they commute for business and employment. This would naturally create more businesses and jobs in Thanet, not to mention the thousands of houses’ council tax revenue to TDC, meaning RiverOak Strategic Partnership simply has an inferior proposal economically.
