Shepway’s consultants Tibbalds have identified the fact that the proposed development on Princes Parade will have a significant impact on the area and have concluded that an Environment Impact Assessment is necessary. They have therefore submitted a document to Shepway’s planning department setting out the scope of such an assessment should the planners agree that one is necessary. They have assessed the various possible impacts as low, medium or high with the possible impacts including the effect on the canal and visual amenity. The public can read the Tibbalds report and submit comments on it via the link below but please note this is not an opportunity to object to development on the site. http://searchplanapps.shepway.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=externalDocuments&keyVal=OAZD4JNZ05900
