Site Location 1. The development is proposed to sit within the confines of the existing Kemsley Mill site, which lies to the north of Sittingbourne and within the defined built up area boundary. It is a prominent and recognisable feature of the town’s landscape, and visible from numerous locations on both the mainland and the Isle of Sheppey. 2. The Swale (a coastal SSSI and SPA designated for its biodiversity value, particularly for migratory birds) lies to the east/southeast of the site beyond areas of open ground, and public footpath ZU1 (the Saxon Shore Way) approximately follows the coastline past the mill. To the south of the mill is Castle Rough, a scheduled monument (HER Number: TQ 96 NW 10) comprising a Danish fortress / medieval moated manor house that is now largely subsumed by the landscape and apparent only through changing land levels. 3. To the west of the site is an agricultural field, beyond which lies Swale Way (a main arterial road through Sittingbourne).

  • Hoo, New Routes to Good Growth
    CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION . 5 2 PROCESS AND TIMELINES . 9 3 OUR PROPOSALS: HIGHWAYS . 11 4 OUR PROPOSALS: RAIL . 32 5 OUR PROPOSALS: SEMS . 50 6 MANAGING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS . 57 7 PROPERTY AND LANDOWNERS . 63 8 GET INVOLVED . 64 3 4 1 INTRODUCTION The information here describes our proposals for infrastructure improvements and environmental management measures on the Hoo Peninsula. We are consulting on these proposals to obtain feedback from the local community and other stakeholders. We will take this feedback into account before we finalise the infrastructure proposals and submit applications for planning permission and other consents for the infrastructure proposals. We secured £170m funding from government for the proposals outlined. They comprise highway improvements on the Hoo Peninsula, a new railway station south of Sharnal Street and the reintroduction of a passenger rail service, and environmental management measures. These proposals relate solely to infrastructure and environmental management. Any decisions on where to locate new housing and other development will be taken in the Local Plan process. We are currently preparing a new Local Plan which will set out a vision for future development in Medway up to 2037. Decisions about any future growth on the Hoo Peninsula will be taken as part of the Local Plan process. The award of government funding and the preparation of planning and applications for other consents help to show that the infrastructure proposals described in this booklet can be delivered, but this does not pre- determine decisions about future growth. A draft of the new Local Plan will be published in spring/summer 2021.

  • LANDSCAPE/SEASCAPE A3c.1 INTRODUCTION
    Offshore Energy SEA APPENDIX 3c – LANDSCAPE/SEASCAPE A3c.1 INTRODUCTION Seascape is defined as ‘a discrete area within which there is shared inter-visibility between land and sea’, which can be separated into areas of sea, land and intervening coastline (DTI 2005). The study of seascape is not only concerned with the physical changes in a given view but the interaction of that view with individuals and how it affects overall visual amenity. Seascapes and coastal environments (including the sea itself) are extensively used for recreation which generates significant tourist income from which many coastal communities are dependent, and this can strongly conflict with commercial and industrial activity (Hill et al. 2001). Experience from terrestrial wind developments highlights that visual issues are often the largest source of public objection (DTI 2005). Assessments of the seascape resource attempt to gauge the capacity or sensitivity of an area to absorb a given development scenario based on a number of interacting factors – see the guidance in Hill et al. (2001), DTI (2005) and Scott et al. (2005). A3c.1.1 UK Context The sensitivity of the landscape to visual influences of offshore developments may be gauged partly on the presence of designated sites protected for their natural and cultural aesthetics. The coastal fringe of each Regional Sea contains a range of designations which relate in whole or in part to the scenic character of that area and these are categorised in the sections which follow. In addition to these, Natural England has described 58 Joint Character Areas (JCAs) which are relevant to the coasts of Regional Seas 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.
