  • Draft Shepway Contaminated Land Strategy
    Appendix 1 DRAFT SHEPWAY CONTAMINATED LAND STRATEGY November 2011 Page 1 of 54 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Councils objectives This Council has four strategic objectives within its Corporate Plan. This Strategy is presented in the context of the Council’s Corporate Plan. The objectives that relate directly to the Contaminated Land Inspection can be viewed in Chapter 1, section 1.1. The Council’s priorities Dealing with contaminated land is a complex issue, often where available information is limited. For each site it will be important to balance the relevant issues and to move forward in a logical and methodical manner. A prioritised list of the Council’s aims has therefore been devised to aid decision-making. The Council’s priorities in dealing with contaminated land will be: 1. To protect human health and controlled waters used for drinking purposes 2. To protect other controlled waters 3. To protect designated ecosystems 4. To prevent damage to property 5. To prevent any further contamination of land 6. To encourage voluntary remediation 7. To encourage re-use of brownfield land This list is presented in priority order and in all cases the Council will have regard to significance and likelihood, as required by the regulations. The Council’s inspection timetable The Council has a total of seven top priority potential sites of contamination (see table 3). Six of these sites require reassessment, revisiting or reviewing before the end of 2012 and one site requires remediation as soon as funding for the project becomes available. If any of these sites, following the planned reassessment, revisit or review, requires remediation, this is expected to take a further 18 to 24 months.

  • COUNTRYSIDE Page 1 of 16
    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.
