The 2011 Report into rebuilding on the existing pool site
The Inspector’s report from 2004 (see pages 86 to 90):
The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)
The SHLAA update document
(see p62 in particular. Note the number of houses on the existing swimming pool and Seabrook School sites including Eversley Road although inclusion in the SHLAA does not mean that the site will definitely be developed.)
In 2011, Shepway commissioned a report from DTZ to look at the brownfield sites in Shepway
Site assessment Shepway District Local Brownfield Strategy
The consultants looked at Prince’s Parade (although it doesn’t fall into Shepway’s own description of a brownfield site) and concluded:
“However any built development proposed may encounter significant public opposition.
The site faces development challenges such as flooding, topography and potential contamination and bio-diversity issues. It may be appropriate to retain the site’s existing use. We consider the flood risk issue to be significant as the site is located between the coast and an existing water course.
Detailed analysis would be required to assess the site- specific development constraints and any associated costs. The costs associated with facilitating development may significantly affect project viability, particularly in the prevailing market conditions. Costs could arise to address flood risk, topography, potential contamination and bio- diversity issues and any requirements from the status of the adjoining watercourse as a Local Wildlife Site.”
If you would like some basic information on how the planning system works , read this Handy Guide to Planning
The National Planning Policy Framework which says:
4. Existing open space, sports and recreational buildings and land, including
playing fields, should not be built on unless:
● an assessment has been undertaken which has clearly shown the open
space, buildings or land to be surplus to requirements; or
● the loss resulting from the proposed development would be replaced by
equivalent or better provision in terms of quantity and quality in a suitable
location; or
● the development is for alternative sports and recreational provision, the
needs for which clearly outweigh the loss
