Why produce an LDF (what is it)?
• A statutory function for districts and unitaries only
• Sets out the ‘blue print’ for how our district will develop
• Responding to community priorities and needs
• Dealing with local challenges – affordable housing, traffic congestion
• Delivering our role in wider partnerships – eg Canterbury Partnership
A new approach to plan preparation – options
![Page 4: Planning for the future of our district Core strategy options Presentation to C4B Associates February 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f115503460f94c239b8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Creating a Vision
• Strategic vision to 2026 – local partnership’s work and South East Plan• Focus on Canterbury city as Regional Hub• Creating sustainable communities – development in accessible areas,
meeting housing needs, protecting and enhancing open space
• Developing the economy – encouraging inward investment and promoting opportunities for business, making the most of opportunities from local education institutes
• Enhancing the appeal of our district for visitors and residents alike – culture, retail, sport and leisure
• Improving our green economy – sustainability of our developments, encouraging business involved in environmental technology
• Infrastructure linked to new developments (tackling congestion)

Economic Development approach
• 40 hectares of business land to be allocated (includes Little Barton Farm)
• Little Barton Farm (as Local Plan); or alternatively provision of similar amount of business land (possibly in smaller mixed use sites) at Canterbury
• Policy to support extensions of current sites

Core Policies relating to Economic Development
• Protection and management of existing sites and clusters
• Allocation of new sites and floor space + delivering mixed use developments
• Support for knowledge-based businesses (environmental technologies: research and development: high tech manufacturing: cultural and creative industries)
• Support for delivery of digital infrastructure

Which development options have we looked at?
Option 1 – Infill in the city centre. This is likely to deliver approx. 1000 units (and is applicable to all options)
Option 2 – Within urban boundaries of Canterbury and coastal towns. This is likely to deliver approx 1500 units in total
Option 3a – Canterbury - urban extensions (dispersal)Option 3b – Canterbury - urban extension (single site)Option 3c – Canterbury - urban extensions (supplemented by
development at Herne Bay)
Option 4 – Herne Bay and Whitstable - urban extensionsOption 5 – Larger well serviced villages around Canterbury
(possible extended village option)Option 6 – Dispersed across district
(urban areas and villages)Option 7 – New (free-standing) settlement

Option 4: Herne Bay and Whitstable - urban extensions
![Page 14: Planning for the future of our district Core strategy options Presentation to C4B Associates February 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f115503460f94c239b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Option 6: Dispersed across district (urban areas and villages)
![Page 16: Planning for the future of our district Core strategy options Presentation to C4B Associates February 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f115503460f94c239b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How did we assess them ?
• Performance against government policy and South East planning framework
• Sustainability Appraisal (social, environmental, economic factors)
• Market Feasibility Assessment - the need to capitalise on developments to provide infrastructure
• Conclusions from previous Inspectors’ Reports and Development Appraisals (eg: “Greater Sturry”)
• Other key studies ongoing – TransportAssessment, Flooding
![Page 17: Planning for the future of our district Core strategy options Presentation to C4B Associates February 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f115503460f94c239b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What we concluded
• Most appropriate options, for further testing and consultation, is a mix of the following,
- Option 1: infill in city centre- Option 2: within urban boundaries of Canterbury, Herne Bay
and Whitstable- Option 3c: large urban extension at Canterbury and limited
development around Herne Bay- Option 5: Minor infill in larger, well served rural villages
this would be our ‘menu’ from which we would (after consultation) choose the preferred option - to go forward to next stage

Options for consultation
![Page 19: Planning for the future of our district Core strategy options Presentation to C4B Associates February 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f115503460f94c239b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why south and west Canterbury ?
• Best fit with SE plan – at or adjacent to urban centres– reinforces role of regional hub
• Good access to facilities and work
• Sufficient scale to provide for future community , open space, social facilities
• Avoids constrained parts of City, on North and east side
• Avoids habitat designations / sensitive landscapes
