I emailed the client before Christmas re the pre‐app advice form and fee so they should be sorting that out with you directly. With regards to the meeting you are proposing, I need to run this past the client and so I’ll get back to you once I’ve spoken with them, if that’s ok with you?

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 January 2017 15:16 To: Joely Hill Subject: RE: Pre‐app Highways Advice in relation to Land South of Ashford Road, High Halden Hi Joely, I’m well thank you, apologies for the delayed response. I’ve not managed to look at it in detail yet I’m afraid, I’ve had a large number of pre‐app requests in the last month which are taking a bit of time to get through. We need the request form completed to ensure all of the correct details are recorded. Could you please complete the form found here.. http://www.kent.gov.uk/waste‐planning‐and‐land/planning‐applications/planning‐ advice/highway‐pre‐application‐advice and send it back to me. I believe that Alan Millard advised you that pre‐app fees were payable for this site. As nothing has been received to date, once I have confirmation of who to charge we will invoice them directly. 3 Initial impressions on what you have submitted are that I don’t have a problem with the traffic generation from such a small site onto an A road; however we will need to explore further the presumption that the speed limit on the Ashford Road can be lowered to 30mph when the site opposite has no frontage development so may not necessarily fit the required driven environment for a 30 limit. I think it would be beneficial to have a meeting to talk about the proposals, mean speeds, location of the proposed access and what can be done to the A28 within reason to assist the speeds/site access vision splays. Do you have any availability on the 16th, 17th after 11am, 18th to meet and discuss? Beyond that I am free pm on the 24th, or any time on the 25th or 26th (but my diary is unlikely to stay that clear for long). Let me know what suits you.

I’m just checking where we’ve got to with the pre‐app advice for High Halden. Have you had a chance to review my TA scoping note at all? I’ve attached it again for ease of reference.

  • East Kent Growth Framework Final Report
    East Kent Growth Framework: Final Report East Kent Growth Framework Final Report East Kent Regeneration Board December 2017 Pg 1 East Kent Growth Framework: Final Report Executive Summary East Kent is a significant economic sub-region. The area combines a distinctive and unique blend of international connectivity, proximity to London and mainland Europe, world-class education institutions, incredible coastal assets and a rapidly-expanding base of high growth sectors which provide a strong platform for future growth. It accounts for a third of all jobs in Kent, and since the late 1990s has been one of the fastest growing areas in South East England. Recent house building growth coupled with the lifestyle attractions of vibrant historic towns, outstanding countryside, heritage assets and coastal areas mean that increasing numbers of people are choosing to invest in and call East Kent home. East Kent is of national significance because it has leading infrastructure such as the High Speed 1 rail network, Channel Tunnel, Port of Dover and Port of Ramsgate. We are the gateway location that links the UK with continental Europe. Considerable progress has been made over the last few years to deliver against the various strategic priorities and locations identified in the 2013 East Kent Growth Plan, with a combination of private and public sector investment helping to bring forward a range of significant development projects. Looking over the next 20 years, East Kent is expected to generate 36,500 new jobs according to the latest forecasts and increase economic output by over 50% from current levels. The working-age population of East Kent has been expanding more rapidly than other parts of Kent and the South East over recent years.
