Update on Port of Ramsgate – Berth 4/5 project

Statement from Cllr Ash Ashbee, Leader of Thanet District Council:

“Following the decision of Cabinet on Thursday 29 July 2021, to progress the required Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed replacement of Berth 4/5 at the Port of Ramsgate, it has been decided to withdraw the previous marine licence application with the intention of resubmitting a new application in January 2022. This will ensure that both the outline planning and Marine Management Organisation licence applications can run concurrently. It remains the intention for construction to commence in May 2022.

“The output of the EIA will be an Environmental Statement which will inform both the planning prior approval application and also the new marine licence application to the Marine Management Organisation.

“Both the planning prior approval application and the marine licence application will be subject to a 42 day consultation period.”
