06 January 2022

  • THANET LOCAL PLAN
    The committee considered the report of Miss Laura Fidler, Town Clerk & RFO and Council’s response in respect to Thanet District Council’s partial update of the Thanet Local Plan.
    RESOLUTION: Councillors to consider the TDC reports and send their individual comments to the Town Clerk by 19th January 2022 for collation.

  • PROPOSED PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY: NETHERCOURT
    The committee considered the report of Miss Laura Fidler, Town Clerk & RFO regarding an alleyway in Nethercourt and whether it should be proposed to KCC for adoption as a Public Right of Way.
    RESOLUTION: The Town Clerk to proceed with an application to Kent County Council to have the alleyway adopted as a Public Right of Way.

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

    F/TH/21/1700 – 20 – 24 Harbour Street, CT11 8HA
    Change of use of part ground floor from retail into a 2 bedroom flat.
    RESOLUTION: Ramsgate Town Council objects to the application on the grounds of the loss of ground floor retail space and considers the unit size to be inappropriate; the lack of windows and only partial light coming through the rear of the unit.

    F/TH/21/1835 – 17 High Street, St Lawrence
    Change of use of a dis-used public house to a one bedroom flat (C3) a 4 bedroom HMO (C4) and a 5 bedroom HMO (C4).
    RESOLUTION: Ramsgate Town Council objects to the application on the grounds that it is considered as over development of the site; it is considered an inappropriate location for the development; the loss of a public amenity and no clear evidence of the non-viability of the public house.

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 Laura Fidler,
Town Clerk & RFO
