PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Thank you for visiting this website.

The proposals will deliver a policy compliant 30% (60 homes) as affordable, whilst ensuring accessible and adaptable homes are provided throughout the site.

Richborough are a land promotion business who work in partnership with landowners, Councils, local stakeholders, and the community to bring forward development schemes that deliver new homes and facilities which meet the needs of the local area.

At the forefront of their ethos, the Richborough team strive to create sustainable developments that are of a high quality and integrate sympathetically with their surroundings.

THE SITE AND SURROUNDINGS


The site comprises agricultural fields and is located within the open countryside. It sits within the “Wensum Northern Slopes” Landscape Character Area and is located to the immediate south of Thanet Parkway Station and just to the west of the village of Cliffsend. Cliffsend offers a small range of services and public transport connections.

The site comprises an area of approximately 8.24ha through which a public right of way (PRoW) runs through the site. This will be retained to provide a walking and cycling route through the site from the southern access point onto Cottington Road to a new proposed pathway, which will connect the site with Thanet Parkway station.

To the north of the site the A299 (Thanet Way) provides connection to the M2 near Faversham and Ramsgate in the East, with the A256 running along the western edge of the site which provides a connection to Dover in the south.

We’ll carefully consider all your responses after this consultation. Any questions you ask will be grouped together and answered in a document we’ll share online.
