K.1.1.2 The evaluation and test pitting was undertaken following the methodology outlined in a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by Kent County Council’s Archaeological Advisor. K.1.1.3 The evaluation and test-pitting was monitored by Atkins and Kent County Council’s Archaeological Advisor. K.1.2 Objectives K.1.2.1 The objective of the evaluation and test-pitting was to identify if any archaeological features or horizons were present within the area evaluated and if present to quantify, qualify, date and characterise any such remains. K.1.2.2 The geoarchaeological test-pitting was required to assess the local potential for there being significant Pleistocene environmental evidence and possibly archaeology present. K.1.3 Methodology K.1.3.1 Five trenches were planned to be excavated, each with a deeper test pit located within them to assess the local Pleistocene potential. K.1.3.2 The trenches were to be excavated by a machine fitted with a ditching blade under constant archaeological supervision and any archaeology identified then sampled and recorded. K.1.3.3 The geoarchaeological test pits within each trench were undertaken in the presence of a specialist in Pleistocene geoarchaeology and the stratification recorded. K.1.4 Constraints K.1.4.1 Two trenches could not be excavated due to the presence of woodland and a high water table resulting in local water-logging. Two other trenches had to be moved from their planned locations due to obstructions. K.1.4.2 The abandonment and movement of trenches was agreed as being appropriate with Kent County Council’s Archaeologist during the monitoring visit. Revision C01 Page 4 of 8 A2 Bean and Ebbsfleet Junction Improvements Environmental Statement Volume 2 – Appendix K.3 Kent Archaeological Investigation K.1.5 Results K.1.5.1 The evaluation identified that there was significant (c. 3m) made ground all across the evaluated area resulting either from 1990s road construction or as infill to a historic quarry. K.1.5.2 No archaeological features or artefacts were recovered from any of the trenches. K.1.5.3 Undated, but likely Holocene or later Pleistocene dry valley (colluvial) infill deposits were identified below 3m overlying in one area lag gravels of periglacial origin lying over the local chalk. In all areas it was evident that the upper part of the stratigraphic units had ben truncated by quarrying or road construction. K.1.6 Discussion K.1.6.1 The evaluation showed that any archaeology that may have been present within the area evaluated has already been removed by quarrying or 1990s road construction and that the local sequence of dry valley infill has also been truncated to c. 3m depth. K.1.6.2 The area has no archaeological potential and can now be characterised as also having a low to very low potential for significant Pleistocene deposits being present. K.1.7 Summary K.1.7.1 The evaluation showed that any archaeology that may have been present within the area evaluated has already been removed by quarrying or 1990s road construction and that the local sequence of dry valley infill has also been truncated to c. 3m depth. K.1.7.2 The area has no archaeological potential and can now be characterised as also having a low to very low potential for significant Pleistocene deposits being present.

  • Appendix 7.1 Policy
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.1 Policy INTRODUCTION This appendix outlines key policies relating to the London Resort at the national, regional and local planning authority (LPA) levels, in relation to socio-economics. The policies of the following key stakeholders have been reviewed and presented in this appendix: local authorities within the core study area (CSA), namely Dartford, Gravesham and Thurrock, local enterprise partnerships (LEPs), regional bodies including the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP), the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) and Kent County Council (KCC), and government departments. This appendix aims to act as a more detailed review of the polices that are referenced in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio- economics, with a focus on the key themes of relevance to socio-economics. POLICY SUMMARIES This section summarises the policy priorities and requirements across all stakeholders, grouped by key topic area. The key purpose of this section is to provide a link to where each policy theme is addressed in Chapter 7: Land-use and socio-economics. Economic growth The NPPF chapter 6 focuses on growing a strong, competitive economy. At the sub- regional levels, both the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP) and the Thames Gateway Kent Partnership (TGKP) note productivity issues in their economies (as is the case at the national level) and establish policies focusing on improving their productivity. In fact, the TGKP identifies the Swanscombe Peninsula area as a key employment location in which they would like to attract and retain investment. At the Core Study Area (CSA) level, Dartford’s Core Strategy states that key growth sectors include the creative industries, hospitality, leisure, built environment and construction.

  • By: Kent Thameside Delivery Board To
    By: Kent Thameside Delivery Board To: Environment & Regeneration Policy Overview Committee – 20 April 2007 Subject: Kent Thameside ___________________________________________________________________ Kent Thameside 1. Kent Thameside is the urban part of the boroughs of Dartford and Gravesham, north of the A2 trunk road. 2. It is one of nine priority areas identified within the Government’s Thames Gateway development areas stretching from London to the sea. 3. Public and private sectors began to co-operate on the future development of the area in the early 1990s, when it was clear that major quarrying and cement manufacturing activity was likely to come to an end, and when the Channel Tunnel Rail Link was planned to come through the area. The initial Kent Thameside Association gave way, in 2003, to the Kent Thameside Delivery Board, a public private partnership based around the three local authorities: Kent, Dartford, and Gravesham; major private companies (Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Land Securities, and Countryside Properties); and central government agencies, including SEEDA and English Partnerships. The Delivery Board is supported in its work by Kent County Council as the accountable body. A delivery executive of 10 people supports the Board in its work. 4. The Board agreed its Regeneration Framework in 2005, with a mission statement as follows: “To create a distinctive and vibrant destination of choice through the development of successful communities which capitalise on the rich heritage of Dartford, Gravesham, and the river Thames.” 5. The Government has been working on a strategic plan for Thames Gateway as a whole, and in November 2006 published the Thames Gateway Interim Plan.
