Over 100 residents attended the exhibition. 13th June Electronic copy of the neighbourhood plan was sent to numerous officers at each of the following organisations for consultation/comment:- Ashford Borough Council Dover District Council Dymchurch Parish Council Canterbury City Council Ivychurch Parish Council Maidstone Borough Council English Heritage South East Region English Heritage Environment Agency, Kent Area Kent County Council Kent Highways Agency Marine Management Organisation Natural England Network Rail New Romney Town Council Newchurch Parish Council Old Romney Town Council Local doctor’s practices Local clubs and societies: Women’s Institute Citizen’s Advice Bureau Marshara Levin Club Age Concern Computer Club Short Mat Bowls Club Art Group Kick Boxing Group Flower Club Dance School Bingo Group Footpath Society Friends Group Dymchurch/Salbris Twinning Society 3.0 Consultation Responses: 3.1 From the consultation process with departments and government bodies, there were two responses received; Natural England and The Environment Agency. 3.2 Comment: Natural England: It is regrettable that the plan’s aims and objectives do not seek to protect and enhance designated habitats and protected species. 3.3 The Environment Agency It is assumed Shepway’s District Council’s Core Strategy has been adopted and compliance with the policies within the core strategy have to be adhered to in addition to those being proposed in the St. Mary in the Marsh Neighbourhood Plan. In particular, reference is made to Flood Risk, Groundwater Vulnerability, Contamination, Fisheries and Biodiversity. 3.4 At the parish council meeting on 7th August, 2014, the two comments from Government bodies were considered, but a unanimous decision was taken that the plan should not me amended, unless professional advice tells us otherwise, because the two issues raised are already addressed in Shepway District Council’s Core Strategy. Any planning and development is required to meet the strategies outlined in the core strategy and therefore are already a requirement under planning regulations. It was therefore considered superfluous to reiterate this requirement in another document. 4.0 Consideration of Public Responses: 4.1 Results of the public survey and indeed comments received at public sessions clearly focus on the need for additional recreational facilities and lack of smaller households for first time buyers. 4.2 Taking into consideration the size of population and that of the surrounding area on Romney Marsh, it is most unlikely that any commercial enterprise will invest in recreational activities in the area. The plan therefore takes the view that there needs to be encouragement within the neighbourhood plan area to offer those with the opportunity to provide recreational facilities an incentive to do so. 4.3 Recreational facilities such as equestrian, caravanning, field sports have all been identified by parishioners as required and acceptable pursuits. This neighbourhood plan therefore wishes to encourage those with available land to open and develop recreational facilities where possible. With this invitation, it also wishes to address the need for those making investments to be allowed to protect and secure their investments. 4.4 Rural crime is on the increase, it is widely known that Romney Marsh has one police constable and cannot patrol or respond to criminal activity and those already operating facilities such as livery stables are being targeted on a regular basis. If landowners are to be encouraged to invest and open facilities on their land, they must be allowed the opportunity to secure and protect it. 4.5 With this in mind, the neighbourhood plan supports mobile residencies such as long cabin/homes be permitted on land that is made available to the public, to offer security and protection to the facilities. The parish council wishes to engage the support of the local planning authority by approving this requirement whilst the land is used for recreational activities that are available to the public. Indeed, the parish council wishes to rely on the local planning authority to request removal of any mobile unit/log cabin once the land is no longer available to the public. 4.6 It has been identified that parishioners consider there is a lack of first-time buyer properties in the area and there appears to be a number of disused farm buildings that could be redeveloped for housing. The plan supports derelict buildings on farmsteads being developed for housing. 4.7 There are currently two major sites in the parish that will deliver a significant number of houses: Former Sands Motel Site, St Mary’s Bay the subject of a current planning application for 85 dwellings. The Potato Factory site at Hope Lane/Copthorne Lane is currently under construction with permission to develop 55 new homes. 4.8 The neighbourhood plan appreciates there are major development sites in the area that will go some considerable way to ensure the area helps with the housing issue nationwide. It also recognises and supports that there is still an opportunity to build smaller developments on disused farmsteads. 4.9 The above outlines how the plan has been developed and the attached appendices clarify the consultation process. 4.10 In August 2015 the draft Plan was sent for a Health Check, conducted by Independent Examiner Nigel McGurk, Erimax Land, Planning and Communities Associates. Following the examiner’s comments, work has been undertaken to incorporate his comments. 4.11In particular, it was recognized that residents outside the parish boundary should be included in the consultation process.

Summary Dymchurch, St Mary’s Bay and Romney Sands are popular destinations along the Shepway coastline for holidaymakers and day-trippers. Their attractive beaches, holiday parks and various other attractions have drawn in visitors and holidaymakers for a number of years and continue to do so today. The history of these areas is largely linked to the complex natural history of the Romney Marsh and the reclamation of land from the sea that has occurred over a number of centuries. The Romney Marsh today is now rich in heritage and natural biodiversity that constitutes a distinctive local landscape. The growth in seaside tourism and leisure time during the nineteenth century resulted in a rise in coastal resort towns along the Shepway coastline and by the twentieth century Dymchurch, St Mary’s Bay and Romney Sands all had popular holiday camps that were easily accessible by the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway that was opened in 1927. All of these areas continue today as popular seaside destinations and boast attractive beaches as well as a number of valuable heritage assets that relate to its history of smuggling, farming and defence of the coast.
