Dover District Council 60 Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015 Figure 3.7 Diagram illustrating the allocated sites and changes in settlement confines in Deal © Crown Copyright. All rights reserved. Dover District Council No. 100019780 (2012) 3.163 The allocated sites, together with sites identified through completed and unimplemented planning permissions (see Table 3.1), leave a residual of approximately 100 dwellings to be identified to meet the Core Strategy requirement. To meet this residual the District Council would have to consider sites that have scored poorly in terms of flood risk, landscape impact or access. A 'windfall' allowance has been included for the later part of the Plan. Residential development in Deal has, over a five year period ( 2008 to 2013), had an average annual ‘windfall’ completion rate of 50 dwellings. These will not be considered in the phasing before 2018. The Core Strategy identifies, in Policy CP3, that the housing figure for Deal could be revised upwards subject to the investigation of the Middle/North Deal area.
Dover District Council Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015 61 Land to the North West of Sholden New Road Site Location and Characteristics 3.164 The 6.67ha site is located on the north western edge of Sholden on the east side of the A258 Deal to Sandwich Road. It consists of agricultural land with an unmade access for agricultural vehicles at the western corner of the site. The site falls gently to the north and is framed on three sides by mature trees. The trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders and consist of a mixture of evergreen trees to the north east, an avenue of mature Beech Trees along Sholden New Road to the south east, and a deciduous tree belt along the north western boundary, which adjoins a private unmade track serving Cottington Lakes Fishery. This provides screening between the site and open farmland. The site boundary with the A258 is partially screened by a hedge. Site Context 3.165 The site has been identified as a broad area for urban extension in the Core Strategy and full planning permission has been granted (in 2012) for 230 dwellings. The overall character of the site is an area of rural transition from urban to open countryside and the surrounding uses reflect this with open countryside to the south west and north west and residential properties to the north east and south east. There are a number of listed properties at Hull Place, to the north east of the site. A tree belt along the north eastern boundary provides a strong visual screen between the site and the properties at Hull Place. European designated nature conservation sites (SAC, SPA & Ramsar) and an area at risk of flooding (Flood Zones 2 & 3) lie to the north. 3.166 A public footway runs parallel with the sites north eastern boundary and the site is in close proximity to public footways which provide good access to routes to the open countryside and the Fowlmead Country Park. A segregated cycle way is located to the west and this runs parallel with the A258, connecting the site with Fowlmead Country Park and Betteshanger employment site further to the north west. Proposed Development 3.167 The site needs to be developed in a way that provides a transition from urban area of Sholden/Deal to the open countryside and retain a 'soft edge' to the development. The western corner of the site is in a prominent location on the A258 coming into Sholden/Deal and should consist of landscaping. This makes it appropriate and necessary to the reduce density and create a looser grain to the the development along the frontage from the western corner of the site and use landscaping to address the site's location on the edge of the existing built up area. 3.168 Proposals need to pay particular attention to the retention and safeguarding of the mature trees that frame the site. To safeguard the trees from any future pressure for removal, development should be set back by 20m. The approach towards the design and layout of the site should also consider the relationship of the development with local heritage assets, particularly the listed buildings located to the north of the site. The tree belt along the north eastern edge should be strengthened through additional planting to ensure that any detrimental impact on the listed buildings is reduced.
