Maidstone Borough Council Freedom of Information Act Request Ref: FOI 6853 Date: 8th March Request I have checked the caravan count figures for Maidstone and they need clarification. In the Caravan Count figures July 2017: last six counts, are listed the following: Column 949 - E07000110 - Maidstone –2017 – July Authorised sites (with planning permission) No. of Caravans on Sites on Travellers own Land. Authorised sites (with planning Permission) Private Caravans - 39 caravans with Temporary permission Unauthorised sites (without planning permission) 158 tolerated caravans Questions: 1 Please detail the names of the sites with the 39 caravans with Temporary permission. 2 Please detail the names of the sites with the 158 tolerated caravans Response: It is the number of caravans on public sites which totals 39 caravans. The number of caravans with temporary permission at the July 2017 count was reported as 6. It is apparent that there have been some errors in uploading the information and there are in fact 10 caravans with temporary permission. The reason for the lower figure is due to the fact that 2 sites have been incorrectly classified as having permanent permission. The sites which count towards the 10 caravans on authorised sites with temporary permission are as follows: Acers Place/Land Adjoining Greengates, Lenham Road, Headcorn Plot 4 The Meadows, Lenham Road, Headcorn Maplehurst Lane, Frittenden Road, Staplehurst Land At Pye Corner Greenfields, Stilebridge Lane, Linton The Stables, Frittenden Road, Staplehurst Ash Tree Place, Hampstead Lane, Nettlestead The number of ‘tolerated’ caravans at the July 2017 count was recorded as 158. However, it is apparent that there have been some errors in uploading the information and there are in fact 165 ‘tolerated’ caravans. The reason for the lower figure is due to the incorrect classification of 4 sites as either authorised or unauthorised sites. Furthermore, the number of caravans at 2 sites has been incorrectly recorded. The sites which count towards the ‘tolerated’ 165 caravans on unauthorised sites are as follows: The Paddock, Detling Hill, Thurnham The Three Sons. Hampstead Lane, Nettlestead White House Farm, Stilebridge Lane, Linton The Vine, Green Hill Lane, Ulcombe Green Tops.
