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, Limestone (Hythe formation - Kentish Ragstone) is 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 bei
