    Thanet District Council Local Plan Adopted July 2020 Thanet Local Plan Adopted July 2020 Foreword This Local Plan has taken a long time to produce under quite difficult circumstances, but I am pleased that we have now been able to adopt a new Local Plan for the district. I would like to thank all those council officers, elected councillors, members of the public and stakeholders who have contributed along the way. Our new Local Plan seeks to meet our housing needs, including affordable housing, but also to support the Thanet economy, including tourism and cultural industries, and ensure the provision of supporting services and infrastructure, such as schools, roads, health facilities and open space. The Plan also aims to protect the best of our natural environment, and enhance biodiversity across the district - including the international wildlife sites at the coast - and our historic environment. Thanet has approximately 2,000 Listed Buildings and 27 Conservation Areas, as well as other local heritage assets. The council has declared a Climate Emergency, and the Plan recognises the impact of climate change on all of us. Having an adopted Plan means that the council now has more control over the location, type and quality of development that happens in the District. Just as importantly, it will support the council’s wider vision for the area over the next few years. Of course, this is not the end of the story, and the council will soon need to embark on a review of the Plan. The year 2020 is now likely to be remembered as one of significant change, which we will need to take into account in that review.

    R04 OL/TH/19/0523 PROPOSAL: Outline application for the erection of 1No. single dwelling with all matters reserved LOCATION: Huckleberry Farm Down Barton Road St Nicholas At Wade BIRCHINGTON Kent WARD: Thanet Villages AGENT: Mr Ian Horswell APPLICANT: Mrs P Evans RECOMMENDATION: Refuse Permission For the following reasons: 1 The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its location, form and character, would impact upon long distance views, and detract from the open and undeveloped rural character of the area, severely detrimental to the appearance of the Landscape Character Area, whilst failing to protect the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside, contrary to Thanet Local Plan Policies CC1, CC2 and D1, and paragraphs 127, 130 and 170 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 2 The site is outside the built up area boundary, and located on land that has no footpath connections with the village, and as such the proposed development is considered to represent an unsustainable form of development within the countryside, which fails to secure safe pedestrian access for future occupiers, contrary to Policy D1 of the Thanet Local Plan and Paragraphs 109 and 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 3 The proposed development will result in increased recreational pressure on the Thanet Coast and Sandwich Bay Special Protection Area (SPA), and Sandwich Bay and Hacklinge Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and in the absence of an acceptable form of mitigation to relieve the pressure, the proposed development would be contrary to paragraph 177 of the NPPF and the Habitats Directive. 4 The proposed use of a sewerage treatment plant to serve the proposed development, given the sites location within the Groundwater Protection Zone and the proximity of the application site to the main sewer network, would result in an unacceptable risk of contamination of groundwater sources, contrary to Policy EP13 of the Thanet Local Plan and paragraph 170 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
