3.6.11 Woodnesborough
3.422 Woodnesborough is located in the northern part of the District located in close
proximity to Sandwich, which lies to the east, and 1.5km from Ash to the north west. The
village is in two distinct parts, the western part includes the church and the current recreation
ground, the eastern part the public house and village hall. The village hall is, however,
considered no longer fit for purpose and the Parish Council is actively seeking a new location
for a village hall and a new recreation ground.
3.423 The two parts of the village are approximately 100m apart and are separated
agricultural fields. Both parts of the village are served by an hourly bus route. The population
of the parish is 1,066 (47) and there are 468 dwellings (48) .
3.424 To help sustain and strengthen Woodnesborough's role in the settlement hierarchy,
it is considered that additional housing will be required over the lifespan of this Plan.
Opportunities for further development in Woodnesborough are limited due to the impact on
the wider landscape and the setting of the listed buildings in the village.
3.425 Two sites have been identified for residential development and these will provide
approximately 40 dwellings. The allocated sites are identified in the diagrammatic plan below.
