Issue details

Public Sector-Led Garden Community

Homes England (HE) and Maidstone Borough Council (the Council), as joint CoPromoters, are leading the delivery of Heathlands Garden Community. To date, activities have included land assembly, promotion of the site for inclusion in the Local Plan Review (LPR), and early evidence base work to support the production of the upcoming Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and Outline Planning Application (OPA).

 

The Local Plan Review was adopted in March 2024 with Heathlands as an allocation in that plan for 5,000 homes plus infrastructure and employment land. This decision sought approval for additional expenditure beyond the currently approved sum.
