Environmental Statement 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Terms of Reference 1.1.1 This Environmental Statement (ES) has been prepared on behalf of Pentland Homes and Jarvis Homes in connection with an outline planning application for a residentially led mixed-use development on approximately 60.98 hectares (ha) of land south of Kingsnorth, Ashford. The development will be known as Kingsnorth Green. 1.1.2 The Kingsnorth Green application site is divided into four distinct parcels of land by Ashford Road, Bond Lane, and existing residential development: Area 1 to the north- west; Area 2 to the south-west; Area 3 in the centre; and Area 4 to the east. 1.1.3 The location of the site is shown on Drawing ST13901-008 and the indicative masterplan for the development is shown on Drawing 14007(sk)001 Rev N. 1.1.4 This ES reports the findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) carried out in accordance with the criteria set out in the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011, in respect of the proposed residentially led mixed use development comprising up to 750 dwellings at Kingsnorth Green, Ashford. 1.1.5 The Planning Application for the proposed development is supported by this ES (and Non-Technical Summary) and by other documents, including the following: • Design and Access Statement (Farrells) • Planning Statement (Ian Bull Consultancy Ltd) • Development Specification (Ian Bull Consultancy Ltd) • Transport Assessment (Peter Brett Associates LLP) • Statement of Community Involvement (Quantum PR) • Five Year Housing Land Supply Study (Peter Brett Associates LLP) • Illustrative Masterplan and Parameter Plans (Farrells) • Sustainability Assessment (Wardell Armstrong LLP) 1.1.6 The outline planning application has been submitted to Ashford Borough Council (ABC) as the authority responsible for determining the application. ST13901/001 Page 1 June 2015 PENTLAND HOMES & JARVIS HOMES Kingsnorth Green Environmental Statement 2 APPROACH AND SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 The statutory requirement for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) derives from “Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 13 December 2011 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment” (Directive 2011/92/EU). The Directive requires that EIA shall identify, describe and assess in accordance with Articles 4 to 12, the direct and indirect effects of a project on human beings, flora, fauna, soil, water, air, climate, the landscape, material assets, cultural heritage, and the interaction between these. 2.1.2 EIA is a decision making tool which identifies and assesses the significance of potential environmental impacts of proposed developments in an objective and systematic manner. This enables appropriate mitigation measures to be shaped and be incorporated within the design, in order to minimise impacts on the environment. 2.1.3 The Environmental Statement (ES) is the main communication tool for presenting the

  • Iliffe Media Ltd Acquires KM Media Group
    Iliffe Media Ltd acquires KM Media Group Iliffe Media Ltd has acquired the entire shareholding of Kent’s independent publisher KM Media Group Ltd. KM Media Group publishes nine paid-for and four free newspapers including the Kent Messenger Series, the current Regional Press Awards Newspaper of the Year, and the Kentish Gazette, established in 1717. The group publishes KentOnline.co.uk, with an audience of 2.4m unique monthly browsers. In addition to print and online, the group operates the kmfm radio network, reaching 164,000 listeners each week, and will soon be broadcasting on television through a joint initiative with the University of Kent. Its newspapers are among the UK’s biggest-selling weekly titles with a long established heritage dating back 300 years. The deal represents the latest stage in the expansion of Iliffe Media, following the launch of the Cambridge Independent in 2016 and the acquisition of 13 titles from Johnston Press earlier this year. KM Media Group chairman Geraldine Allinson said the deal with Iliffe would allow KM to continue to evolve and bring about much needed investment to maintain its independence and continue to serve the people of Kent with trusted news and other valued content. It also enables KM to resolve the long standing issues surrounding its closed final salary pension scheme. Geraldine, who will remain fully involved with KM Media Group, said: “The directors and I believe this deal represents the best possible outcome for our staff and customers. “Although there is some personal sadness for me and my family that our pension liabilities have led us to this position, in Iliffe we have found a publisher which shares our belief in the importance of local media.
