CLIFTONVILLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT ADOPTED
(Agenda item 17 - Thanet District Couincil meeting - 25/02/2010).
The Cliftonville Development Plan Document was formally adopted by Thanet District Council at its meeting this evening (Thursday 25th February). It now becomes council policy within the Local Development Framework.
Cliftonville West Ward councillor Doug Clark said "the Cliftonville Development Plan Document, covering parts of Margate Central and Cliftonville West that have been better known as the Neighbourhood Renewal Area, is yet another step forward and all five ward councillors welcome its formal adoption by the council.
We were disappointed that the ruling administration chose not to back our proposal, supported by several residents groups in the area, to enlarge minimum sizes for new homes, but following the lack of support on this issue, we now intend to fight that battle across, and for, the whole District.
The problems facing Cliftonville West and Margate Central are all very well known and within his report the independent inspector accepted that Cliftonville was 'showing clear signs of social, economic and physical stress' but we have had some success in the past with our unique 'no one bedroom' policy and if implemented properly this plan should help further".
