Dover District Council 20 Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015 International and National Wildlife Designations 3.11 International and National sites of importance for wildlife include Ramsar and European sites (Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas) as well as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. These primarily occur on ancient woodland, chalk grassland and the coast. The last includes extensive sites on the coastal dunes, mudflats, marshes and fen to the northeast where there is also risk of flooding. Employment Allocations 3.12 The Employment Update assessed each saved Local Plan employment allocation and examined the need for non-B class uses. 3.13 Taking into account the Sustainability Assessment which formed part of the Employment Update, and the Core Strategy’s approach to the distribution of employment land, nine sites are identified as initial priority sites for employment uses, although some of these have the benefit of extant planning permission (7) . Details of each employment allocation are set out before the housing allocations in each section of this Plan. A summary is included in the table below: Site Location Use Amount of floorspace (sq m) Policy reference St. James's Area Dover Retail 10,500 Saved Local Plan Policy AS9 White Cliffs Business Park Dover Focus B1/B2/B8 on 53,000 in addition to unimplemented planning consents of 71,800 Dover - Policy LA2 Albert Road Deal B1/B2 4,550 Saved Local Plan Policy LE5 A y l e s h a m Development Area (employment allocation) Aylesham B1/B2 8,000 Saved Local Plan Policy AY4 Betteshanger Colliery Pithead Deal B1/B2/B8 22,000 Saved Local Plan Policy AS1 Eastry Hospital Eastry B1 and employment generating uses 2,000 Rural - Policy LA29 7 Table 3.3 excludes Old Park Barracks and Ramsgate Road both of which have an extant planning permission, and Discovery Park Enterprise Zone (See paragraph 3.14)

Discovery Park Enterprise Zone 3.14 Discovery Park Enterprise Zone, formerly Pfizer’s Research and Development facility, at Sandwich has an established employment function. It is the largest employment site in the District and comprises around 280,000 m 2 of high quality research and development buildings, offices and ancillary facilities set within a landscaped campus. Having achieved Enterprise Zone status in 2011, the site offers business rate discounts, has the potential for improved superfast broadband and future capital allowances to investors and occupiers on site. The planning mechanism for implementing an Enterprise Zone at Discovery Park is a Local Development Order (LDO). A LDO is intended to encourage new start-up businesses and other investors with simplified planning rules. 3.15 The LDO removes the need to make planning applications for some types of development on the site. It provides a clear framework for business development making it easier to achieve economic growth. 3.16 Discovery Park Enterprise Zone is being marketed towards life sciences, Research and Development (R&D) and business start ups. The Employment Update (2012) has recommended that the White Cliffs Business Park (WCBP) continues to be restricted to B1/B2/B8 uses and other employment generating uses. Discovery Park should remain the focus for high tech research companies making the best use of the existing high quality buildings and facilities and marketed towards businesses that are not going to locate in the WCBP. The Council’s employment strategy is, therefore, based on the premise of retaining the sites in Table 3.3 that have been identified as initial priority for employment uses as they each create and offer different employment opportunities. Types of Site Allocation 3.17 For each settlement where allocations are made a description of the settlement is given, followed by site allocations. These are colour coded according to the type of allocation: Blue Orange A policy that allocates a site for development or a change in settlement confines which includes site specific criteria to be addressed by planning applications in addition to general Development Plan policies and all other material considerations Allocation of a site for development without specific criteria where the acceptability of any planning application proposals will be judged against general Development Plan policies and all other material considerations. General design guidelines are, though, provided together with a note of issues that need to be addressed in the preparation of planning applications.
