Minutes:
The Project Manager, Local Plan presented the report explaining the reason for the delay.
The Committee heard the examiner stated the plan did not meet the basic requirements and was contrary to adopted local plan policies ENV28 and H27, and there was a lack of evidence for the development proposals.
Councillor Garten addressed the Committee as a Visiting Member.
The Committee heard that the Broomfield and Kingswood neighbourhood plan did not accord with the adopted local plan. The Broomfield and Kingswood parish council were advised to make representations during the draft Local Plan consultation process for a change to the parish boundary. The parish council did not do this. The Committee were informed that the Inspector for the Maidstone Borough Local Plan may allow the parish council to make representations during the inspection hearings, but this was not definite.
