  • EDC/17/0123 Site Address: Northfleet Embankment East, Crete Hall Road
    Agenda Item: 006 Reference: EDC/17/0123 Site Address: Northfleet Embankment East, Crete Hall Road, Northfleet. Proposal: Application for the variation of conditions 4, 5 and 19 attached to outline planning permission reference EDC/17/0022, for development of brownfield land to provide up to 21,500 sqm (231,000 sqft) of employment floorspace, comprising use classes B1, B2, B8 and A3, A4, A5 and associated site vehicular access, to amend the Building Heights Parameter Plan to allow the maximum height of buildings on part of the northern parcel to increase from 12 metres to 13.5 metres and to relocate the proposed pedestrian central refuge island crossing on Crete Hall Road. Applicant: Berkeley Modular Ltd Ward: Northfleet North SUMMARY: This application seeks amendments to the original outline planning permission to meet the requirements of a developer who has acquired part of the site (the Northern Parcel) and are seeking to develop it for a modular house building factory. The changes relate to a modest increase to the upper building height parameter to facilitate operational requirements and relocation of an approved pedestrian crossing island to better align it with the detailed layout. The proposed changes are considered to be acceptable in planning terms as they would not introduce any adverse impacts beyond those assessed and mitigated through the original outline permission. In particular the increase to the maximum building height from 12 metres to 13.5 metres should not materially alter the extent of visibility of the proposed development subject to appropriate design at the detailed stage. This has been verified by independent review of the EIA addendum submitted with the application, which satisfactorily concluded that the proposed changes do not introduce any new or different significant environmental effects over and above the original outline permission.

  • The Dover Road
    THE DOVER ROAD BY CHARLES G. HARPER The Dover Road I Of all the historic highways of England, the story of the old Road to Dover is the most difficult to tell. No other road in all Christendom (or Pagandom either, for that matter) has so long and continuous a history, nor one so crowded in every age with incident and associations. The writer, therefore, who has the telling of that story to accomplish is weighted with a heavy sense of responsibility, and though (like a village boy marching fearfully through a midnight churchyard) he whistles to keep his courage warm, yet, for all his outward show of indifference, he keeps an awed glance upon the shadows that beset his path, and is prepared to take to his heels at any moment. And see what portentous shadows crowd the long reaches of the Dover Road, and demand attention! Cæsar’s presence haunts the weird plateau of Barham Downs, and the alert imagination hears the tramp of the legionaries along Watling Street on moonlit nights. Shades of Britons, Saxons, Danes, and Normans people the streets of the old towns through which the highway takes its course, or crowd in warlike array upon the hillsides. Kings and queens, nobles, saints of different degrees of sanctity, great blackguards of every degree of blackguardism, and ecclesiastics holy, haughty, proud, or pitiful, rise up before one and terrify with thoughts of the space the record of their doings would occupy; in fine, the wraiths and phantoms of nigh upon two thousand years combine to intimidate the historian.

  • The Unpublished Journal of Gideon Mantell 1819 – 1852
    The Unpublished Journal of Gideon Mantell 1819 – 1852 Edited with an introduction by John A. Cooper © 2010 The Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove UK 1 The Unpublished Journal of Gideon Mantell: 1819 – 1852 Introduction Historians of English society of the early 19th century, particularly those interested in the history of science, will be familiar with the journal of Gideon Algernon Mantell (1790-1852). Whilst not kept on a daily basis, Mantell’s journal, kept from 1818, offers valuable insights into not only his own remarkable life and work, but through his comments on a huge range of issues and personalities, contributes much to our understanding of contemporary science and society. Gideon Mantell died in 1852. All of his extensive archives passed first to his son Reginald and on his death, to his younger son Walter who in 1840 had emigrated to New Zealand. These papers together with Walter’s own library and papers were donated to the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington, New Zealand in 1927 by his daughter-in- law. At some time after that, a typescript was produced of the entire 4-volume manuscript journal and it is this typescript which has been the principal reference point for subsequent workers. In particular, an original copy was lodged with the Sussex Archaeological Society in Lewes, Sussex. In 1940, E. Cecil Curwen published his abridged version of Gideon Mantell’s Journal (Oxford University Press 1940) and his pencilled marks on the typescript indicate those portions of the text which he reproduced. About half of the text was published by Curwen.

  • Agenda Item 005 Officer Report
    Agenda Item: 005 Reference: EDC/17/0022 Site Address: Northfleet Embankment East, Crete Hall Road, Northfleet. Proposal: Outline application with all matters reserved except access for development of brownfield land to provide up to 21,500 m2 (231,000 ft2) of employment floorspace, comprising use classes B1, B2, B8 and A3, A4, A5 and associated site vehicular access. Applicant: Ebbsfleet Development Corporation Parish / Ward: Non-Parish Area SUMMARY: This outline application proposes a significant quantum of new employment floorspace on a previously developed industrial site on the south bank of the River Thames, within an area known as Northfleet Embankment East. The site is allocated in the Local Plan Core Strategy for employment led redevelopment. This site also comprises part of the Strategic Northfleet Riverside Development Area identified in the EDC’s Implementation Framework which seeks to develop new employment activities within the identified enterprise zone. The proposed development, in addition to being acceptable in planning policy terms, accords with EDC’s Implementation Framework that seeks to facilitate the establishment and growth of new and existing businesses providing a mix of sustainable jobs accessible to local people that puts Ebbsfleet on the map as a successful business location. It would also stimulate and act as a catalyst for inward investment to enhance the local economy to take advantage of the site’s location within the recently enacted North Kent Enterprise Zone and would make efficient use of a vacant previously
