Chilmington Green & Discovery Park Area Action Plan
The Chilmington Green & Discovery Park Area Action Plan
(AAP) document forms part of Ashford’s Local Development Framework,
and will primarily set out policies for residential, employment and
infrastructure development within the area.
Current Position
Initial preparation stages for this AAP are well underway. A number of
consultation events have been carried out with key stakeholders
over the duration of 2007 which has led to the production of a
Chilmington Green Issues Paper. This Issues paper gives
consideration to the objectives and general conformity with
regional and local policy, and other local strategies and
initiatives. The Issues Paper was not subjected to a formal public
consultation process but merely outlines all the issues which were
raised through the stakeholder consultation events.
This Issues paper will form the basis of developing and drawing
up a credible evidence base which will see the Council produce
a Draft Submission Chilmington Green & Discovery
Park Area Action Plan for early Autumn 2009.
The Draft Submission Report will be the first stage of formal
public consultation. Responses to the Draft Submission
will be considered when preparing the final submission
version of the
AAP
to the
Secretary of State early 2010 with subsequent
adoption end of 2010.
In conjunction with the preparation of the AAP, a Sustainability Appraisal
Scoping Report has been produced which assesses the economic,
social and environmental constraints of the proposed urban
extension.
