Like it or not people have to live somewhere and with the
government directing councils that homes have to be built and spaces have to be
made for them, a question a lot of people are asking is. Where?
Thanet District Council have produced various documents
about this and I think at the moment the most relevant is the 250 page Draft
Local Plan to 2031, if you live in Thanet you really ought to read this and may
be asked questions later.
Suppose you don’t want to read it all, but want to skim it
looking at what interests you the most, an IT tip here is – click on the link
to it – press Ctrl and F at the same time, this should make a search box appear
in the top right corner of the document. You knew that didn’t you? Anyway if
say you are interested in the airport, then putting airport in the search box
and using the up down arrows are an option.
While you have a bit a think about that one have a look at
this map, clicking on it should make it bigger, the orangey brown areas are where a
lot of the new homes are likely to be built.
Here is the link to the Draft Local Plan https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10502046_322557577937838_8638706586995685032_n.jpg?oh=dda470646fc35cc4215ed468a6d162b0&oe=5503672C
When we get to the 5th of January the 6 weeks consultation
period begins.
I will ramble on here if I get a chance, mostly about the
council not really seeming to have a plan B for either the port or the airport.

Please note comments that may be libellous, comments that may be construed as offensive, anonymous derogatory comments about real people, comments baiting internet trolls, comments saying that an anonymous comment was made by a named real person, boring comments and spam comments, comments in CAPs will be deleted. Playground stuff like calling real people by their time stamp or surname alone, referring to groups as gangs, old duffers and so on will result in deletion. Comment quoting what people have said elsewhere on the internet must contain details of where and when the quotation is. Comment that may be construed as offensive to minority groups is not allowed here either, so think before you write it, remember that the internet is a public place, that it is very difficult to be truly anonymous and that everyone who uses it leaves a trail of some sort. Also note the facility to leave anonymous comment will be turned of during periods when I am unable to monitor comment, this will not affect people commenting who are signed on to their blogger accounts. When things are particularly difficult on the commercial spam front I may turn comment moderation on for periods.
If you feel that someone has left a comment that is offensive and directed at you personally please email me (link on the sidebar) asking to have it removed, you will need to tell which post and the date and timestamp of the offending comment. Please do not reply to the offending comment as I will assume you continuing the dialogue as meaning that you want the comments left there.
