Local Plan Consultation
The Local Plan consultation will take place from Jan 29th for 6 weeks. Please make sure you take part – it will affect not just Princes Parade but development across the whole of Shepway
Yet Another Consultants’ Report
Shepway commissioned the Lee Evans Partnership to help them prepare for their meeting with English Heritage in August
English Heritage
“The Princes Parade site forms part of the setting of the RMC as a designated heritage asset and the significance of the canal as
a scheduled monumentcould be seriously harmed by changes to it. ”

Swimming Pool Options
Dr Geoff Burrell’s independent assessment of the three possible sites for the new pool now available on this site.
Nickoll’s Quarry
We’ve been in touch a local resident (a former management consultant) who is working on a detailed and independent appraisal of all three potential sites for the pool. He has promised us a copy of his report for the website when it’s finished but it sounds like Nickoll’s Quarry is coming out as the best for all sorts of reasons but in particular for financial reasons. Interesting.
Walk
Join us for a leisurely walk around Princes Parade on 16th August, a discussion about the Council’s proposals to develop the site, a chat about contamination, piling, flooding and mains services, with just a discreet word about sewers! – Start at 10.00am from the White Tram Stop on Princes Parade.
Local Plan Consultations
Despite the decisions by Cabinet and Hythe Town Council,Shepway have still got to get their proposals adopted into the local plan. The site options will be consulted on this November, the draft plan in July 2015 with the examination in public being Jan 2016.
Hythe Town Council Meeting
Good turnout in the “public gallery”” at the Hythe Town Council meeting last night – thank you. Unfortunately the council voted ( 7 for, 4 abstentions) to support the development at the east end of Prince’s Parade despite Jeremy Chambers admitting during his presentation that the financial projections are still “high level”. HTC only has a consultative role though.
