Background:

Since Bridge Neighbourhood Plan was first published in
draft and consulted on, in October 2014, there have been
a number of important developments, especially about
housing proposals in Bridge.

° Canterbury City Council’s Local Plan for the
district has stalled and is unlikely to be adopted before
2017 at the earliest

' Six housing proposals have been put forward by
local landowners which were not in the draft
Neighbourhood Plan publication

Bridge Neighbourhood Planning Committee intend to
complete the Neighbourhood Plan in the next few weeks
so that the village will be in a strong position to
determine how local developments should take place
rather than being dictated to by others.

Brickfields site:

The Brickfields site is owned by Canterbury City
Council. Bridge Parish Council wrote to Canterbury City
Council in April 2014 identifying a possible extension to
the current Brickfields development of a total of 8 houses.
This helped to clarify the draft Neighbourhood Plan’s
statement to “support further development at Brickfields
for more affordable rentable homes with a family
connection.” In November 2015 Canterbury City Council
announced its intention to build 40 houses on the site.

See back page of this leaflet for what to do.

In addition to the Brickfields
site, the following housing
development sites are

proposed by local landowners:

Site 1:
Land south—west of the High Street (i.e. adjacent to the
allotment site - but not in replacement of the

allotments) (approx. 30 houses proposed)

Site 2:
Land north-east of the High Street / North-west of
Conyngham Lane. (approx. 30 houses proposed)

Site 3:

Land north-west of Patrixbourne Road extending up to
Conyngham Lane (this includes site 4 below)
(approx. 30 houses proposed)

Site 4:

Land north-west of Patrixbourne Road being restricted
to the land adjacent the doctor's surgery (approx. 10
houses proposed)

Site 5:

Church Meadow (behind the Parish Church lying
between Bishopsbourne Rd and Brewery Lane).
(unknown number of houses proposed by the
landowner/developer)

Full details of the proposed housing development sites
are accessible via the parish website
www.bridgeviIlage.org.uk in entries dated 13
February and 12 March 2016.

Four of the above sites (numbers 1-4) are proposed by
Cantley Estates. Site 5 is proposed by the relevant
landowner.

The total number of houses proposed by Cantley
Estates, whether on one or more sites, is approx 30.

Implications for the Village:

Some of these housing proposals are accompanied by
development proposals for the village more generally.
These additional development proposals have been
offered by the landowners. Neither Bridge Parish Council
nor the Neighbourhood Planning Committee can
guarantee their delivery, but these additional proposals
will be included in the final version of the
Neighbourhood Plan. (All final housing proposals will be
subject to scrutiny and approval by Canterbury City
Council).
