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.
