Representation Summary:

Please see my comments for question 58, these objections are the same for question 59.
If access to the development could be gained from McDonalds roundabout the traffic/congestion problems surrounding The Street would be avoided.
A buffer greenbelt could also be created between any homes potentially affected by the development and the new site.
Gillingham school would need to be expanded to cope with the extra pupils and associated parent parking.

Representation Summary:

The village has no amenities other than a hairdresser and a pub. No room at School, Doctors or Dentist. Flooding already happens before the 22 new homes. Cars already left on road as no off road parking also it’s a field it should be helping to feed the population not housing them.

Representation Summary:

It is submitted that shortlisted sites SN0274 REV A and REV B should be transferred from having a status of ‘shortlisted’ to a status of an allocation and this should be an allocation made in addition to the land to the south of GIL 1.
The Flood Risk Assessment has shown that there is an area of land in Risk Zone 1 that can accommodate the development.
The Landscape Impact Assessment has demonstrated that the development of the land can take place without any ‘material’ harm to the landscape.

Land to the south of the A143 and A146 roundabout, Gillingham
This site is on the edge of Gillingham village with potential better access, closer to the few amenities available and less impact on the already congested village roads.

Sites SN0274REVA, SN0274REVB, SN4078 and SN2065REV are all located within Flood Zone 3. These sites would all require site specific Flood Risk Assessments to be submitted for at application stage for any proposed development.

Few or no constraints. Standard information required at a planning stage.

1.] At risk of surface water flooding?: Yes * 3.33% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding * 3.33% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.90cm. * 1.0% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding * 1.0% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.90cm. * 0.1% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding|Moderate flooding * 0.1% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 1.20cm. 2.] Internal & external flooding?: * On-site: No * Within proximity to site (~500.00m): Yes - Internal Flooding 3.] Watercourses [Online ordinary watercourses or mains rivers]?: * On-site: No * Within proximity to site (~100.00m): No 4.] Surface water sewer systems?: * On-site: No * Within proximity to site (~100.00m): Yes 5.] Source Protection Zone?: Source Protection Zone 3 6.] Internal Drainage Board?: No IDB referenced 7.] The site predominantly has superficial deposits of DIAMICTON. Comments on infiltration potential are dependent on a complete geotechnical investigation, including BRE365 Soakaway Testing. Where possible, surface water infiltration should be utilised.

The on-site flood risk forms a minor/moderate flow path in the 0.1% AEP event, contributing to a major flow path south of the site. Flood risk is concentrated to the eastern/southeastern site boundary with flow lines indicating water flow south off of the site. We advise this must be considered in the site assessment.We advise there is opportunity to mitigate the flood risk leading off of the site. A large area of the site is unaffected by flood risk and has potential to be developed.

Flooding on-site is very minor, concentrated to the southern boundary/road area.The site is immediately adjacent to another allocated site (Ref: SN0274REVA). Consideration of how each site may impact each other/off-site flood risk must be considered in the site assessment.

Representation Summary:

SN0274 REVA or REVB Land to the south of the A143 and A146 roundabout, Gillingham
Rating: Green no major ecological constraints identified from desk-top search. Surveys, and biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy required.
Agricultural field opposite road to application 2019/1013 (and south of 2020/0491 at the service station). Bounded on two sides by hedge (priority habitat). No other priority habitats identified (see MAGIC). Site within amber habitat zones for great crested newts (large pond adjacent to school), and SSSI IRZ will likely require consultation with Natural England (residential development >10 units) if allocated. Applications for planning consent should be accompanied by a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal/Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) which, together with the mitigation hierarchy, and the landscape strategy for 2019/1013 and 2020/0491, should inform the design. Consideration should be given to delivering Biodiversity Net Gain.
