Dover District Council 42 Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015 © Crown Copyright. All rights reserved. Dover District Council No. 100019780 (2012) Figure 3.5 Plan to illustrate development sites in Coombe Valley
Dover District Council Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015 43 3.98 Figure 3.5 identifies sites for redevelopment in the area over the plan period. The majority of these sites are currently vacant. Published guidance by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets out certain restrictions for development in close proximity to the Gas Holder. A diagrammatic plan showing these zones is available on the Council's website at www.dover.gov.uk/making-applications. Early engagement is recommended with the HSE to ascertain restrictions regarding safety. Here there is an opportunity to create a gateway feature, which may include some form of landmark (for further information see Character Areas, paragraphs 3.21 to 3.23). 3.99 The community hospital is located on the eastern half of the current hospital site; the remainder of the site will be released for redevelopment in the short term (over the next 5 year period). The redevelopment of the surplus land provides the opportunity to introduce new residential development to strengthen the residential character of the area. Other community, educational or health uses could also be considered although priority must be given to the regeneration of the area through redevelopment. Any development proposals should meet the objective of Stage 1 Regeneration Initiative by creating a ‘heart’ to the area with an opportunity for a new civic square which could incorporate playable space and links through to the countryside beyond. The redevelopment of the site for a Community Hospital and residential development should use the opportunity to create a softer appearance through the use of landscaping and sensitive elevational treatment to Coombe Valley Road. Should the redevelopment of the hospital site come forward in advance of the residential area then proposals must consider and take into account the relationship and the interface between the two sites. 3.100 Development further up the valley at Barwick Road, a vacant industrial site, adjoins the industrial area to the west of the valley. Development on this site will need to address the changes in the levels between the site and Barwick Road and provide an active street frontage to Barwick Road along with pedestrian connections to the Triangles Community Centre. The design of the proposed development proposals should seek to improve the setting of and impact on the AONB. 3.101 Early discussions should take place with Southern Water regarding connection to the wider sewerage and water distribution systems, which would need to be taken into account in the layout proposals of any planning application. 3.102 Residential development in Coombe Valley should enhance the current mix of housing in the area, and whilst seeking to reflect the housing mix in the SHMA include family housing. Overall, the site should create and restore the character of Dover (see Character Areas, paragraphs 3.21 to 3.23). 3.103 In line with Policy CP4 of the Core Strategy, development should seek to reflect a density of 40dph. In contrast to urban fringe sites, the development sites here are surrounded by existing built form. To ensure that best use is made of available land and taking account of the potential of the hospital site, approximately 450 residential dwellings could be developed, over eight sites.
