The latest updates to the planning application (reference 21/1209/FH) for an artificial badger sett at Princes Parade has revealed the existence of another badger sett in use at the site.

If you have strong feelings about the welfare of the badger population and would like to send in your own comments or objection, you can do so by following this link. There are already many objections to the plans as this article from KentOnline points out.

Among the files listed in the application there is yet another updated version of the Ecological Method Statement (EMS) which supersedes the previous versions.

If you were wondering what ecological value there is in this contaminated ex-landfill site then you you can learn a lot as the EMS guides you through the steps the council are having to take to try to protect its important plant and animal life.
