Outline Planning Application - for up to 852 new dwellings (including 10% affordable housing), a site of approximately 10 ha for a secondary and primary school, a mixed use local centre, including land for provision of a convenience store, public open and amenity space (including equipped children's play areas), together with associated landscaping and ecological enhancement works, acoustic barrier to the A249, internal access roads, footpaths, cycleways and parking, drainage (including a foul water pumping station and sustainable drainage systems), utilities and service infrastructure. All matters reserved. ADDRESS Land North Quinton Road Sittingbourne Kent ME10 2SX RECOMMENDATION GRANT Subject to the views of KCC Education in respect of the BREEAM conditions for the proposed schools, the signing of a suitably worded Section 106 agreement (to secure the mitigation set out at paragraphs 9.16.1 to 9.16.3 below) and the conditions set out below. Authority is also sought to amend the wording of the Section 106 agreement and the wording of conditions as may reasonably be required. SUMMARY OF REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION: The proposed development would accord with the requirements of the adopted Local Plan (Bearing Fruits, adopted 2017) and, in particular, Policy MU1, which allocates the wider site (of which the application site makes up the majority) for a minimum of 1500 dwellings. By providing up to 1200 dwellings, this development would make a major contribution to the delivery of housing in Swale, and in particular Sittingbourne. Other key benefits of the development would be the provision of land for the delivery of two schools (a secondary to serve the development and to cater for significant existing demand from the wider area and to broaden choice in the Sittingbourne area; a primary to serve the proposed development), a country park and substantial areas of other open space and strategic landscaping; a spine road would provide to create a new connection between Quinton Road and Grovehurst Road; the provision of 120 affordable dwellings; and the provision of a mixed use local centre. Report to Planning Committee – 4 March 2021 ITEM 2.1 With specific regard to the details area of the development (namely Phase 1 South and Phase 1 North), it is considered that the development would deliver a good layout, with well-designed homes, and without giving rise to any significant amenity concerns. Any adverse impacts that would otherwise have resulted from the development will be mitigated by developer contributions as summarised below and the imposition of conditions (also set out below). REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE Objection from Bobbing Parish Council, and the very substantial scale of the development.

All detailed matters are reserved for subsequent approval except (a) mitigation of impacts on Great Crested Newts; (b) vehicular access to Grovehurst Road and (c) extraction of brickearth. This application is to be approved under delegated powers. Assessment of it is at an advanced stage, though the s106 agreement to accompany the permission has not yet been completed. 1. DESCRIPTION OF SITE 1.1 The site comprises a total of 64.5 hectares of arable farmland on the western edge of Sittingbourne. This can be sub-divided into 11 hectares located to the north of Bramblefield Lane and the public right of way ZU54 (and known as Pheasant Farm) and approximately 53.5 hectares to the south of this. As noted in the Planning Statement, the northern parcel “…comprises largely of an artificial mound…constructed from spoil arising from the construction of the adjacent A249 road.” The southern portion is further sub- divided by a ditch and intermittent tree / hedge line running south-west across the site and by a field boundary (featuring intermittent trees and hedging) running south-east from Bramblefield Lane to the eastern boundary of the site. 1.2 The boundaries of the site are defined as follows: to the west, the site adjoins the A249 dual-carriageway, which connects the M2 to Sittingbourne and Isle-of-Sheppey and is classified as a trunk road. To the south, the site fronts Quinton Road. Meads Avenue and the more-recent Meads housing estate are located immediately to the south of Quinton Road. To the east, the southern parcel is bounded by the railway line, which links the main London-Dover line to Kemsley and the Isle-of-Sheppey. At the northern end of the southern parcel, the site adjoins the Kemsley Halt Station and the Grovehurst Surgery Report to Planning Committee – 4 March 2021 ITEM 2.1 medical centre. The Bramblefield Lane cul-de-sac – characterised by a mix of single- and two-storey dwellings and some chalet bungalows - forms part of the northern boundary of the southern parcel and the southern boundary of the northern parcel. 1.3 The Environmental Statement describes the topography of the site as follows: “The topography of the site comprises a very gradual slope from c.20 AOD (Above Ordnance Datum) in the central-west…at Bramblefield Lane down to the south-east at the railway line.

Item C1 SW/09/894 – Installation of a small scale biomass power plant within an existing and extended building for the generation of renewable energy from low grade waste wood at Ridham Dock Road, Iwade, Sittingbourne, Kent A report by Head of Planning Applications Group to Planning Applications Committee on 11 May 2010. SW/09/894 – Installation of a small scale biomass power plant within an existing and extended building for the generation of renewable energy from low grade waste wood at Ridham Dock Road, Iwade, Sittingbourne, Kent ME9 8SR (MR. 921 674) Recommendation: Permission BE GRANTED subject to conditions. Local Member: Mr A Willicombe Classification: Unrestricted Background 1. Planning permission was granted in 2006, for a material recovery facility (MRF), in-vessel composting facility and the continuation of secondary aggregate recycling operations at the Countrystyle Recycling site, Ridham Dock, under planning consent reference SW/05/1392. Under its current consent the site is permitted to handle some 31,000 tonnes of compostable waste and 35,000 tonnes per year of recyclable waste through the MRF. Whilst the permission also allows for the continuation of 10,000 tonnes per annum of secondary aggregate recycling, this activity appears to have all but ceased and replaced with shredding of low grade wood waste. Site Description and Proposal 2. The site itself lies some 2km north of Kemsley, 2.1 km to the east of Iwade and 1.2km to the east of the A249.

    The Swale District An Archaeological Survey March 2000 Foreword by Professor Alan Everitt The Kent Archaeological Field School Director; Paul Wilkinson, PhD., MIFA., FRSA., MSIA. School Farm Oast, Graveney Road Faversham, Kent. ME13 8UP Tel: 01795 532548 or 07885 700 112. e-mail: [email protected] www.kafs.co.uk Foreword England has no such dramatic Roman monuments as those to be seen in Mediterranean countries, or at towns like Arles and Orange in southern France. Striking remains can be found, as at Hadrian’s Wall in the north, or the walls of Richborough and Colchester in the south-east. Substantial stretches of the Roman road-network also survive to remind us of the massive impact of Imperial rule. But after the end of that period, Britannia took a rather different course from other parts of Europe, as Rosamand Faith has recently reminded us (Faith, 1997: 1), and the break with Roman tradition was more complete. The English climate, moreover, as we know to our cost today, is more destructive of ancient monuments than that of drier or sunnier countries. The walls of Colchester and Richborough have survived because they are built of indestructible flint. Such circumstances mean that the prehistoric past must be reconstructed from more fragmentary evidence. Often it can only be discovered through the kind of expert, systematic methods pioneered by Dr Paul Wilkinson and his team in the Swale District. Yet the sheer scale and variety of the evidence recorded in this report is astonishing: some 14,000 sherds of pottery alone, for example, and 231 fragments of painted wall-plaster at Deerton Street, still sufficiently vivid to give us some impression of the somewhat garish interior of a Roman villa.
