I was very pleased to meet up again with representatives of Eynsford, Farningham, Crockenhill and WestKingsdown parish councils, along with representatives of “Keep our Greenbelt Together”, to discuss the proposed development at Pedham Place, and the implications of the new Labour Government’s proposals to increase drastically the local housing target and to build on the Green Belt.
I was clear with all in attendance that I remain opposed to the Pedham Place development, and will be doing all I can to protect our Green Belt land.
The consultation on the changes to housing targets and building on Green Belt can be found at:
https://consult.communities.gov.uk/planning/planning-reform/ And, I would encourage all of you to respond to the consultation, which ends on 24 September 2024.
