Appendix 1 Land Allocations Local Plan

Dover District Council

Land Allocations Local Plan Adopted 2015
3.190 Early discussions should take place with Southern Water regarding the two water
mains that cross the site and these would need to be taken into account as part of any
planning application.
3.191 A combination of the scale of the development and the proximity of the site to
European designated nature conservation sites means that any planning application will
have to develop a strategy with a range of measures and initiatives such as the provision of
informal open space or walking routes (leading to wider PROWs) within the development.
3.192 The size of the site and its location on the edge of the countryside means that it has
a particular role in providing a range of dwellings that would improve the housing offer in this
part of Deal. These could range from lower density, larger family homes to higher density,
smaller units.
