Our Core Strategy sets out our long term vision for the district’s communities, economy and environment. The current strategy was adopted in 2013 – this review updates key parts of that document. Over the last 5 years, more than 1,500 new homes have been built across the district, and we’ve identified sites for future housing development in our current planning policies, but there’s still a pressing need for more housing for local people. This review takes into consideration the government’s target to build 300,000 new homes each year, and our updated assessment of local housing need, to arrive at a revised district-wide requirement for new homes. It introduces our aspiration for a new garden settlement at Otterpool Park. This will help provide the new homes we need, but is about so much more: This document explains the opportunity we have to create an attractive and vibrant place, build well designed environmentally friendly homes, and provide new services and amenities, like schools, medical centres and parks. It also explains our plans to see homes built around a new village centre for Sellindge to take advantage of what’s already there and improve the existing school, medical facilities, local open spaces, and parish and village facilities. This is a very exciting time for our district’s future: I hope you will take some time to help us plan for that future by telling us what you think over the coming weeks.

It then looks at some of the general and district-specific factors influencing the Core Strategy Review. 6 Consultation Draft (Regulation 18) Folkestone and Hythe District Council Core Strategy Review 2018 1.1 About the Core Strategy About This Document Core Strategy Review This document is the first draft of the Core Strategy Review. It is published for consultation under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations. All comments received during the consultation will be considered by the council in drafting the next version of the Core Strategy Review (known as the 'Regulation 19' plan). This will also be subject to public consultation towards the end of 2018 and all comments made during this stage will be passed to an independent planning Inspector, appointed by the Planning Inspectorate (or 'PINS'). A public examination will then be held into the Core Strategy Review and, if the Inspector considers that the plan meets the 'tests of soundness' set out in national planning policy, it will then be adopted by the council. On adoption it will replace the current 2013 Core Strategy and will be used to make decisions on planning applications within the district. Changes to national planning policy This Core Strategy Review is being prepared at a time of great change within the planning system. The government is proposing changes to the way that local planning authorities plan for housing and a revised draft of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) has recently been published for consultation. These changes will be assessed by the council, alongside the consultation comments on this draft, when producing the Regulation 19 version of the plan. Where relevant, these government proposals are explained further in the later sections of this plan. Other planning documents The principal focus of the Core Strategy Review is on strategic-scale growth within the district. In parallel with this Core Strategy Review, the council is also finalising the Places and Policies Local Plan, which identifies small- and medium-sized sites for development throughout the district for the period to 2031. The Places and Policies Local Plan is being prepared through a separate process and sites within that document are not considered in this consultation. Approach to the Core Strategy Review This Core Strategy Review is being undertaken to assess housing and employment requirements over a longer period than the Places and Policies Local Plan period - to 2036/37 - based on the most up-to-date evidence. However, it should be noted that: 1. Where policies in the 2013 Core Strategy are still relevant and meet national planning policy they are not proposed to be amended and are included unchanged from the 2013 Core Strategy; 2. Many of the strategic sites identified in the 2013 Core Strategy now have planning permission and development is progressing on some sites. Policies for these sites are included in this draft, unchanged from the 2013 Core Strategy - this is to ensure that a planning framework remains in place to guide future phases of the developments, or in case planning permissions on the sites lapse. Should development advance significantly on these sites in 2018 then the Council will delete these policies from the plan; and 3. Where major strategic growth is being proposed for the first time, new policies have been drafted that did not feature in the 2013 Core Strategy (subsequent policies have been renumbered). Also where additional growth is proposed 2013 Core Strategy policies have been significantly amended. Changed policies include: A New Garden Settlement within the North Downs Character Area (Policies SS6-SS9); and Sellindge Strategy (Policy CSD9). Consultation Draft (Regulation 18) 7 Folkestone and Hythe District Council Core Strategy Review 2018 Role of the Core Strategy 1.2 Development in England is guided by national and local policy. At the local level the district's statutory Local Plan documents direct change by forming the basis for deciding planning applications for development, and also through guiding public and private sector investment decisions. 1.3 The Core Strategy is a long-term plan bringing together the aims and actions of the government, local councils, residents, businesses and voluntary groups, by managing land-use and developments. The current 2013 Core Strategy was adopted as part of the statutory development plan for the district on 18 September 2013. Role of the Places and Policies Local Plan 1.4 Future plans for specific purposes, topics or areas will all flow from, and help deliver, Core Strategy principles. For example the Places and Policies Local Plan (PPLP), proposes to allocate approximately 1,600 dwellings across many small- and medium-sized sites following the framework set by the 2013 Core Strategy (some of these sites now have planning permission). The PPLP will also provide a new suite of development management polices to replace the saved policies from the Local Plan Review 2006. Once that plan is found 'sound' by the Planning Inspectorate and adopted it will ensure that the council has sufficient allocations to meet the objective of a minimum of 350 dwellings and a target of 400 dwellings per annum between 2006/07 and 2031 as set out in policy SS2 of the 2013 Core Strategy. However, in keeping with government guidance, a partial review of the Core Strategy is now being undertaken to assess housing and employment requirements over a longer period based on the most up-to-date evidence. Community Infrastructure Levy 1.5 A Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule was adopted by the council on 20 July 2016 and CIL has been in operation from 1 August 2016.

    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.

These networks should be managed and designed to support biodiversity and wider quality of life, particularly in areas undergoing large scale change.“ 1.3 Natural England – “Green Infrastructure (GI) is a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features. It should be designed and managed as a multifunctional resource capable of delivering a wide range of environmental and quality of life benefits for local communities. Green Infrastructure includes parks, open spaces, playing fields, woodlands, allotments and private gardens.” 1.4 The common features of these definitions are that GI:- • involves natural and managed green areas in urban and rural settings • is about the strategic connection of open green areas • should provide multiple benefits for people 2.

  • Management Plan 2009-2014
    Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty MANAGEMENT PLAN 2009-2014 First revision April 2009 The lady orchid (Orchis purpurea) which we have chosen as the emblem of the Kent Downs is beautiful, scarce and special to Kent, just like the downs and woodland it inhabits. Like our countryside, it is vulnerable to the pressures of change, but survives by continual renewal. We want the lady orchid and its downland home to remain alive, not remembered only in books and museums. It must thrive for future generations to enjoy. • The purpose of this Management Plan is primarily to secure the conservation and enhancement of the Kent Downs while supporting the social and economic wellbeing of its communities. This is the first review of the Kent Downs AONB Management Plan, prepared as required, by Section IV of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. We are grateful for the contribution that many individuals and organisations have made in the preparation of this revision. We hope that you will find this plan useful and informative, but more importantly that you will reflect the vision, aims and policies in your life and work. It is only with your input that we can ensure that this plan achieves its ambitious 20 year vision. The preparation of this Management Plan was supported by all of the local authorities of the Kent Downs AONB, Natural England and the European Regional Development Fund. This Management Plan has been formally adopted by all of the Local Authorities of the Kent Downs AONB. CONTENTS page Foreword 3 3.1.2 The role of this

  • Kent Downs AONB Management Plan 2014-2019
    Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2014 - 2019 Second revision April 2014 1 Ministerial Foreword Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) are some of our finest This Management Plan also makes the important connection between landscapes. They are cherished by residents and visitors alike and people and nature. I am pleased to hear that local communities have allow millions of people from all walks of life to understand and been central to the development of the plan, and will be at the heart connect with nature. of its delivery. From volunteers on nature conservation projects, to businesses working to promote sustainable tourism, it’s great to hear I am pleased to see that this Management Plan demonstrates how of the enthusiasm and commitment of the local people who hold their AONB Partnerships can continue to protect these precious AONBs so dear. environments despite the significant challenges they face. With a changing climate, the increasing demands of a growing population AONBs are, and will continue to be, landscapes of change. and in difficult economic times, I believe AONBs represent just the Management Plans such as this are vital in ensuring these changes sort of community driven, collaborative approach needed to ensure are for the better. I would like to thank all those who were involved our natural environment is maintained for generations to come. in bringing this plan together and I wish you every success in bringing it to fruition. AONB Partnerships have been the architects of a landscape-scale approach to land management. This approach is a key feature of the Government’s Natural Environment White Paper and emphasises the need to manage ecosystems in an integrated fashion, linking goals on wildlife, water, soil and landscape, and working at a scale that respects natural systems.

  • 1. the Kent Downs AONB
    1 1. The Kent Downs AONB Overview There is no doubt that the landscape of the Kent Downs is special. There is drama and intimacy; there is diversity and contrast within the AONB; there are ancient places as well as the bright white of a new cliff fall. This is a distinctive, national landscape of outstanding quality and value. 1.1 A vision for the Kent Downs AONB in 2034 In the first AONB Management Plan we agreed a 20 year vision; this 2004 vision remains fundamentally unchanged: In 2034… the qualities and distinctive features of the Kent Downs AONB, the dramatic south- facing scarp, secluded dry valleys, network of tiny lanes, isolated farmsteads, churches and oasts, orchards, dramatic cliffs, the ancient woodlands and delicate chalk grassland along with the ancient, remote and tranquil qualities, are valued, secured and strengthened. The Kent Downs has become a landscape where change supports the AONB’s distinctive features. Robust responses to development pressures and climate change have enhanced landscape character. The Kent Downs landscape is recognised and valued, enjoyed and cherished and its future conservation and enhancement is a certainty. Positive partnerships, local people and land managers act together to conserve, enhance and promote a nationally and internationally recognised and valued landscape. 1.2 Special characteristics and qualities of the Kent Downs AONB 1.2.1 The special characteristics and qualities The rich landscape of the Kent Downs AONB is made up of diverse special characteristics and qualities which together distinguish it as a landscape of national and international importance and which are consistently identified and valued by the public, individuals, institutions, organisations and experts alike.

  • 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.
