Strategic Setting

The study area is located within Shepway District Council, approximately is XX km from the centre of , XX km from Hythe and XX km from Ashford. There are no other major urban areas in close proximity to the study area.

The infrastructure corridor comprising the and railway lines serving HS1 and local services, is a major structuring element. The station at , with local stopping services to both Folkestone and Ashford is a key consideration, as there may be considerable scope for an improved service, should development occur in some form.

To the north, south and east lie designated and protected landscapes.

The study area

At the project inception meeting with SDC, it was confirmed that this current study, while initially conceived of as focusing on a core area for the main outputs, should not be limited to that smaller parcel of land. It was agreed that if there was a rationale for a more comprehensive study area to be considered as part of the commission, AECOM would define that area, assess the constraints/opportunities and prepare strategic options that supported the more detailed options proposed for the core study area.

The intention is that both the core and wider study area exercises should provide a range of options, each with a high level evidence base providing a rationale for that development option. The options will have their origins in current planning policy, with the proviso that policy is continually updated and revised. tbc

Landscape and Environment

The study area is located in a landscape that might best be described as rolling countryside, which has been characterised in the Landscape Character Assessment of Kent (KCC, 2004) as being part of the Sellindge Plateau Farmlands character area.

The KCC document describes the landscape as having the following traits:

„„ flat to undulating plateau farmlands on good quality soils;

„„ open arable landscape with pasture locally important on more undulating ground, and

„„ small copses and gappy hedgerows on undulating ground.

In terms of its current condition, the character area is View across Parcel A and Parcel B towards Folkestone Racecourse and the transport corridor (HS1 and M20) considered to be fragmented , with any historic patterns now lost and considerable intrusion into the landscape by the road and rail infrastructure. The predominance of arable agriculture limits the potential for natural habitats and rural heritage features, such as tree cover are limited and of poor quality. Importantly, the study states that existing built form is already sufficiently intrusive as to have a negative impact on the character of the landscape, with recent built development impinging upon historic development which was more likely to use local ragstone and brick.

The comment in respect of landscape character sensitivity is worth quoting in its entirety:

‘Historic land patterns are generally obscured or have no real function in the present landscape, with the notable exception of some estate landscape to the north of the character area. The flat landscape is apparent and has long views: visibility is therefore high. The sensitivity of the area is considered to be moderate’.

This has important consequences for the proposed actions to be taken when delivering any new development within the character area:

„„ create a new framework for this transitional landscape which respects the open, arable use, transport corridors and adjacent small scale character area patterns.

„„ existing built form and settlement edges need to be defined,

„„ the impact of the many visual detractors needs to be controlled.

„„ this landscape presents an opportunity to create new landscape features, and

„„ restore ecological interest to selected areas of arable land by sensitive management.

Designations

There are a number of designated sites in the lcoal area, relating to both visual and landscape amenity and habitat and ecological interest. Gibbon’s Brook SSSI Kent Downs AONB wraps around the study area to the north, south and east. The land immediately to the south east of Parcel A is a Registered Park and Garden (Sandling Park). There are two SSSI’s close to the site , Otterpool Quary, immediately to the south of the A20 Ashford Road, and Gibbon’s Brook, to the north of the motorway and east of Sellnidge. Occasional stand of Ancient Woodland are dotted Parcel D across the landscape, but the prevailing land use is farming, in one form or another.

Built Environment

The site is, for the most part, surrounded by open countryside, albeit with significant components of infrastructure with the M20 and HS1/local rail network corridors.

In terms of urban areas, there are four small settlements, including Westenhanger and Newingreen to the south of the railway/motorway corridor, Stanford to the north and Sellindge, located to the west of the study are and bisected by the M20 and railway lines. Listed cottages Stanford Mill The ruins of Westenhanger Castle are the in Sellindge main built heritage asset on or close to the Newingreen Stanford site. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, with listed building sitting within its curtilage - Westenhanger Manor (grade I) and associated barns (also grade I). Immediately to the south, Sellindge on the junction of Ashford Road and Stone Street, listed the Royal Oak public house (grade II). Stone Street, although not designated, is a Listed barns Roman road dating from the 3rd century AD, at Westenhanger the very least. Stanford Windmill (grade II*) and Manor groups of cottages in Sellindge, just to the south of the rail/road corridor are the other, key listed building in close proximity to the study area.

It will be incumbent on any development proposals to ensure that the setting, special interest and significance of each of these heritage assets is protected and, wherever possible, enhanced. The Scheduled Ancient Monument, in particular is both a key constraint and also an opportunity requiring careful management through the design and planning processes. There are precedents for this significant heritage asset to be incorporated into a park that functions as an integral part of the wider opens pace network, e.g., Colchester Castle and Berkhamsted Castle.

Topography

The site nestles in relatively low lying, rolling countryside, with higher land to the east and north (part of the Kent Downs AONB).

The site itself is relatively flat, with localised high spots, for example, on the south eastern edge of Parcel A and the eastern boundary of Parcel D. For the most part, however, the scale of the site tends to make these localised variations less significant. The relatively prominent landforms in the south of Parcel A and east of Parcel D may be an issue in terms of the location of buildings that would be visible in strategic views from the AONB, and may require some element of landscape buffer to help integrate development Parcel D into the wider landscape in a more sensitive manner.

Hydrology

The site is permeated by a number of waterways some of which are designated as primary and secondary river. The EA’s flood mapping tool shows a clear correlation between these routes and the extent of flood risk zones. The scale and nature of the water courses, and the surrounding landscape, would seem to contain the extent of flooding, although it would seem to be more extensive in parts of Parcel D, especially towards the southern boundary with the M27.

It is clear from the Figure 3.8, that there are flood management issues that will have to be addressed by development proposals on all of the major parcels, Parcel D bar Parcel A. It may be that careful integration of the green/blue infrastructure, with open spaces organised in such a way as to accommodate flood plain, would be Parcel C a key component of any design proposal.

Most of the site sits on top of Principal or Secondary Aquifer. This doesn’t preclude development, but Parcel B Parcel E employing the precautionary principle, careful consideration will be needed as to the nature of development in some locations, on the basis that some Parcel A types of land use can have harmful consequences for the aquifer. The site does not sit within a Water Source Protection Zone, Surface Water Safeguard Zone or Groundwater Safeguard Zone.

Ground Conditions

A quick study of the ground conditions within the study area suggests that there are no major ground fill sites within the boundary.

There is, however, a possibility of historic landfill associated with the castle, which would only become apparent with further site-based assessment.

Agricultural Land

The majority of the study area sits within Agricultural Land Classification Grade 2 and 3. These designations confer certain levels of protection on land, with respect to development, but further investigation is required to ascertain whether the land within the study are is actually farmland. For example, a large tract of land classified as ALC 2 in Parcel B is actually the race course.

Transport To The study area is bounded and bisected by roads that form a key part of the strategic network in this part of Kent - the A20 and the Stone Street M20. The transport infrastructure corridor which passes through the site from east to west is a major constraint on connectivity across the various land parcels, but it is also a significant B2068 opportunity, providing access on to the main transport networks, both locally and regionally. In particular, Westenhanger railway station clearly has the potential to provide access from To Ashford a new development to Folkstone and Hythe, but also to Ashford and from there, via HS1, to Parcel D London (in less than 40 minutes). M20

The M20 is the principal route adjacent to the Stone Street Parcel C Junction 11 site, with the A20 Ashford Road looping around To Folkestone the southern boundary of Parcels and A and B and offering a number of connections into other routes leading to Hythe, Lympne and Westenhanger Parcel E Canterbury.

Initial Assessment of the Existing Road Network

In order to understand the potential impacts of development, at different scales, on the existing network, an analysis of junction capacity was undertaken. This analysis considered the AM peak hour (0800-0900) and PM peak hour (1700- 1800) for the scenarios requested. The initial assessment looked at the network, as it stands, with consideration given to new, committed developments in the local area which would have the potential to affect traffic flows.

Parcel D Some junctions were not assessed, on the basis that new junctions elsewhere on the network, introduced to serve any new development, A: Junction 11 Parcel C would mitigate the potential effects of traffic in those locations (Figure 3.12, adjacent, shows the location of the junctions).

The existing water mains that extend along the roads adjoining the development parcels could potentially be affected by junction improvements works or new accesses, depending on their location and extent.

In the event that the highway construction works cause the cover to the existing potable water mains to be reduced to less than 900mm, then it will be necessary to lower the existing water mains.

Foul Water

Southern Water (SW) is the local sewerage authority and is responsible for the treatment and disposal of foul water from the Shepway area.

The Southern Water Asset location plans indicate that a series of foul gravity sewers extend below Stone Street and below the M20 to a pumping station that is situated on the northern side of the railway. A 125mm diameter rising main extends from the pumping station to a gravity sewer on the southern side of the railway, which conveys foul flows west alongside the Westenhanger railway Parcel D station to the Newingreen Sewage Pumping Station. This pumping station is situated on the west side of the racecourse, also receives foul flows from foul sewers that flow in a westerly Parcel C direction along Ashford Road and through the land to the south of Parcel B. A 180mm diameter rising main extends in a north-westerly from the pump station through Parcel B and below the Parcel E Parcel B railway line and M20 before discharging to 300mm diameter foul sewers within Sellindge, which convey the foul flow to the Sellindge Wastewater Parcel A Treatment Works.

Existing foul sewers or rising mains that extend through proposed development areas are likely to require diversion to avoid forming a constraint to the position of new buildings. Alternatively, the emerging masterplans will be required to include sections of open space allow easements along existing sewers and rising mains to be maintained.

Water Cycle Study

The Shepway Water Cycle Study identifies Parcel D the main strategic deficiency in wastewater connections being the link between the Westenhanger area and Sellindge WWTW. SDC Parcel C identifies the need for landowners and the utility company to work together to address this deficiency and reserves the right to require direct developer funding and manage the delivery of Parcel E development or withhold support for strategic Parcel B development in this area, depending on the degree to which the wastewater deficiency is addressed. Parcel A

The Shepway Water Cycle (in 2011) assumed that there was capacity (as measured by Dry Water Flow Headroom - DWF Headroom) for approximately 1,250 dwellings in the wards dependent on the Sellindge WWTW. Housing growth was estimated, for those same wards, to be potentially in the region of 1,100 homes, based on the outcome of the Strategic Housing Land

Extent of the Study Area

However, before devising the development scenarios, it was important to identify and agree which parts of the overall study area might be available for development, for each scenario.

The original core study are comprised Parcel A, therefore, it is deemed to be available for inclusion in all scenarios. Similarly, Parcel C, as the potential location for an enhanced lorry parking provision (see opposite), is also deemed to be potentially available so is included in each scenario. Parcel D

Parcel B, particularly the land to the east in the ownership of Folkestone Racecourse, has been Parcel C the subject of a number of representations to the Local Plan process, some of which have focused on the delivery of residential development at various scales. This being the case, Parcel B is Parcel E included as part of the Intermediate scenario Parcel B and, to a much larger extent, as part of the enhanced scenario, which includes all the Parcel A land to the west, in addition to the Folkestone Racecourse land ownership.

There is some logic to considering the potential for a ‘whole junction’ scenario, with development located to the north of Junction 11, as well as to the south. To that end, Parcel D is included, although there is a recognition that this may prove more difficult to deliver, in the short to medium-term.

Finally, Parcel E is potentially the least accessible of the various parcels that make up the original 0 100 200 300 400 500m study area. It is also has a use that is important Figure 5.1: Parcels to be included in the development assessment scenarios to the functioning of the wider strategic road network. Consequently, for the purposes of the current exercise, it is not included as a potential development site, although there is scope for it to be added, should circumstances change.

A) Existing provision of lorry parking at Stop 24 - no change Lorry Parking Provision at Stop 24

There is currently provision for approximately 130 lorry parking spaces at Stop 24. This is the base case for lorry parking at Stop 24 and was factored into our assessment of existing traffic conditions (Figure 5.2A).

Henry Boot has submitted an application for an additional 60 space, an uplift achieved by means of re-planning the existing lorry parking area. They are also considering the potential for an expansion of approximately 300 additional B) An additional 300 spaces to the west of Stone Street spaces, on land to the west of Stone street, located in the corridor of land between the M20 and the railway lines. This composite of an additional 60 spaces, plus a potential expansion of 300 spaces, forms part of the Limited Development Scenario, in addition to development for commercial uses on Parcel A (Figure 5.2B).

Thee is also potential for additional lorry parking at Junction 11, and fr the purposes of this current study, we have proposed a further 1,000 spaces to be located on the remaining land to the west of Stone Street and this larger uplift in lorry parking numbers forms part of the Intermediate and C) An additional 1,000 spaces added to the west of Stone Street extension Enhanced Development Scenarios (Figure 5.2C).

„„ Deliverability

This section considers how the three development scenarios perform in terms of transport and utilities. For the purpose of this exercise, although three variants of the Limited Development scheme were generated, it is Option 1 - where the main focus is on employment provision, with no residential, that is the preferred option.

For the purposes of this assessment, it is assumed that the development scenarios, as shown, would be able to address the environmental and built heritage constraints identified in Section 2, above. 44 | Land at Junction 11, M20 Feasibility Advice Note

Limited Development Scenario

This development scenario comprises a range of employment uses located entirely on Parcel A (with an area of 41.38ha/ 102.26 acres)

In terms of land uses, the following mix is proposed:

„„ Commercial: 26.75ha/ 66.10 acres

„„ Landscape (including landscape buffers to the AONB and existing settlement): 13.83ha/ 34.18 acres

„„ Infrastructure (including primary road network and a Park and Ride facility associated with Westenhanger station): 3.89ha/ 9.62 acres

The total commercial/employment floor space break down is as follows:

„„ B1 (office): 31,087 m2

„„ B8 (logistics): 39,079 m2

In addition, there is an 80 room 3 star hotel located on land immediately adjacent to Junction 11, in the north eastern corner of Parcel A. The total number of employees which might be delivered by a fully developed scheme is estimated to be 3,079.

Intermediate Development Scenario

This development scenario comprises a range of employment uses located entirely on Parcel A, together with a residential-led development of approximately 3,200 dwellings on Parcels B and D (having a total area of 235.48ha/ 581.87 acres)

In terms of land uses, the following mix is proposed:

„„ Residential: 106.23ha/ 262.50 acres

„„ Commercial: 28.85ha/ 71.29 acres

„„ Landscape: 74.32ha/ 183.66 acres

„„ Infrastructure: 15.92ha/ 39.34 acres

The total commercial/employment floor space break down is as follows:

„„ B1 (office): 31,087 m2

„„ B8 (logistics): 39,079 m2

In addition, there are two 80 room 3 star hotels, one located on land immediately adjacent to Junction 11, in the north eastern corner of Parcel A, and the other in the south east corner of Parcel D, again immediately adjacent to Junction 11. The total number of employees which might be delivered by a fully developed scheme is estimated to be 3,239, with potential for additional jobs to be created by the retail and service offer in the local centre, plus the 0 100 200 300 400 500m education and social/community uses located throughout the larger development site.
