Work to repair and reconstruct the previously dilapidated station platforms and canopies began earlier this year and is now nearing completion. It is likely to open to the public in the first part of 2018, providing yet more spaces for people to discover and enjoy, and building on the acclaimed success of the Harbour Arm, increasingly acclaimed as one of the south east’s major attractions. The surviving section of the 1859 Customs House (most was destroyed by enemy action in the Second World War) has been painstakingly repaired and restored. Great attention has been paid to detail of the building by contractors Jenners, including installation of magnificent new doors, extensive repairs to roof and stonework and, perhaps the most striking feature of the building, the face of Poseidon. In Greek mythology Poseidon was the god of the sea and protector of seafarers. During the Folkestone Triennial, the Customs House has been home to the “Urban Room”, an artwork by Diane Dever and the Decorators, bringing together material that represents Folkestone’s past and providing an opportunity for people to consider and debate this in the context of the present and anticipating the future. Going forward it is proposed to use this space to present a wide range of aspects of the history of maritime Folkestone, including the evolution of the harbour, its growth as a port and other activities that have taken place in and around the site. Go Folkestone members will recall that Outline Planning consent was granted in January 2015 for up to one thousand residential units on the seafront site, including beach houses, apartments and town houses, with a range of commercial spaces designed to serve the new community and to make a significant contribution towards Folkestone’s economy, whilst making major improvements to the public domain in a way that has largely already been achieved. Detailed design work that builds on and proposes how these plans will be implemented is under way, and will focus on aspects including the design and style of buildings and the residential accommodation. One outcome of this further design work is a recent application to Shepway District Council seeking to vary some of the conditions in the 2015 consent. It does not represent a redesign of the development described in this consented planning permission, but, for example, proposes removing conditions relating to the provision of sea and beach sport facilities from the consented plans. This is based on practical experience: sea sports trials were conducted in the proposed location over a number of summer seasons but proved unsatisfactory. In the meantime, alternative provision for sea sports was established operating from The Stade, with considerable success. Under this proposal the sum allocated for sea and beach sport facilities in the original consent would be set aside for similar public benefit contributions. Similarly, proposals have been included to vary the shapes and distribution of various accommodation “blocks”, creating curved rather than straight lines for example, whilst remaining well within the originally consented ceiling of 1000 residential units. 4 Work continues on transforming the former Folkestone Harbour railway station. ���������� ��������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������� � ������������������������������������������������������ ������!��" ���� ������������#������������������������������������ $�%�&���������������������� �����' �������������"�� (��" &)�����������������������������' ����&� ������������' ������ � *������$ ���������+������#�,�-������-��������� �.�/ ��������-�����)�����������)�����0��1���23 1��4���5�5��.55�6 �����4���&�� ���������7�������0��0 � 8������ ��(�"�-������4���&�� ���������0��0 � 5 Openings and Closings Richard Wallace Following Lidl in Hawkinge, reopened on September 14th, Aldi in Hythe are of course also up-sizing to a new store they are building at the Kengate estate in West Hythe. Perhaps a pound store will move into the existing Aldi? The final soulless supermarket bulletin concerns B&M Stores, similar to Home Bargains opening in the currently dog- eared Homebase unit on 23rd November. Pubwise I saw Gillie formerly with Stuart for many years at the The Guildhall filling in at The British Lion out of the goodness of her heart. They are happily retired in the centre of Folkestone but she runs whatever she touches with her normal assurance.

    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.
