The County Council will require financial contributions towards KCC services including towards the construction costs of any new education provision required to mitigate the impact of this development.

The County Council – as Local Minerals and Waste Planning Authority - confirms that, according to British Geological Survey safeguarding data, Sandstone (Wadhurst Clay Formation) are present within the allocated site and are vulnerable to sterilisation. As set out in the adopted Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2013-2030, Policy CSM 5: Land-won Mineral Safeguarding and Policy DM 7: Safeguarding Mineral Resources detail how minerals of economic importance will be safeguarded from being unneces

KCC supports the inclusion of paragraph 4,286.

Appledore – The Street Paragraph 4.283 refers to the Proposed Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Ray Bay Ramsar Site. Please note that the Ramsar Site1 has now been confirmed and is no longer 'Proposed'. Paragraph 4.283 states that the Ramsar Site will be to the north east of the development site. In fact it lies to the east and south of the site.

We also question criteria (e) in the policy as it is unclear as to which part of the site this policy criteria is referring to.

Enhancing the PROW to a multi-functional would improve access for all.
