Have your say on new planning guidance

Consultation closed - results available soon

We want to know what you think about guidance for developers on the community facilities that they need to provide as part of larger housing developments in Thanet.

The guidance expands on previous policies and aims to give more clarity and about what local people can expect to see as part of a new development and what developers can expect to have to deliver.

The consultation is part of the Local Development Framework for the area, which will replace the Thanet Local Plan.

Recent developments where developers made contributions under the existing guidance:

• St. Augustine’s Park at Westgate, where the developers Millwood Homes contributed over £60,000 towards new school places within 2 miles of the development
• Westwood Cross developers Carillion contributed £307,500 to the installation of a new local bus system, now known as the Loop.
