Key Updates - Planning and Infrastructure Committee

Home / About Ramsgate / News / Key Updates - Planning and Infrastructure Committee

09 December 2021

  • The committee considered the Council’s response to Thanet District Council’s “Ramsgate Conservation Area” public consultation.
    RESOLUTION: RTC welcomes the very thorough report. Concerns are raised about delivery due to understaffing at TDC. RTC would like to be part of the implementation, particularly Cllrs whose wards are within the conservation area along with local volunteers which RTC can assist in organising. Cllrs to forward any further comments to the Deputy Town Clerk. Deputy Town Clerk to request the cost of printed copies of the document.

  • The committee received the updated Highways Improvement Plan and a report from Miss L Fidler, Town Clerk, with various recommendations for consideration.
    RESOLUTIONS: Various amendments were made to the document (please see the draft minutes on the website). A Working Group will be formed to look at the resident requests as detailed in the report before inclusion in the document. The Working Group will also consider which roads should be included in a 20mph zone. Mr Borough will be asked to look at signage in the town centre generally, considering potential better placement of signage. Mr Borough will report back on his work, and with the initial proposal for the 20mph zone and then a subsequent committee meeting will consider what the HIP priority for 2022/2023 should be.

  • The committee considered the response from Southern Water in relation to wastewater releases affecting Thanet.
    RESOLUTION: A further letter to be sent to Southern Water and placed on the RTC website, advising that their reply is considered to be extremely inefficient and unsatisfactory and to raise concerns about the provision of water supply to new builds in Ramsgate. Craig McKinlay MP to be copied in.

  • The committee considered 3 planning applications raising the following concerns on the following 2 applications:

    F/TH/21/1622 – 10 Cliff Street, CT11 9HS
    Erection of a four storey building incorporating five, two-bed apartments and three, three-bed apartments with associated parking following the demolition of the existing garage/workshop and ancillary accommodation.
    RESOLUTION: RTC objects to the application due to the number and size of the proposed flats.

    F/TH/21/1696 – 49A Harbour Parade, CT11 8LJ
    Variation of condition 2 of planning consent F/TH/17/1748 ‘Retrospective change of use from hairdressers (use class A1) to restaurant and takeaway (use class A3/A5)’ to allow extended opening hours to 4am.
    RESOLUTION: RTC objects to the extended hours to 4 am on the grounds that this would cause further disturbance to residents.

    • NB. The town council is a statutory consultee on planning applications; the decision is ultimately made by Thanet District Council.

    This is not a summary of everything covered at this meeting, please see the official Minutes for the legal record of the meeting. The above is intended to provide a snapshot of matters that may be of particular interest to residents.

Miss Eileen Richford,
Deputy Town Clerk
