M2 JUNCTION 5 IMPROVEMENTS DETAILED MODIFICATION MOD-1 Amendments required to the Made Side Roads Order and Made Compulsory Purchase Order THE HIGHWAYS ENGLAND (A249 TRUNK ROAD STOCKBURY ROUNDABOUT IMPROVEMENTS) (SIDE ROADS) ORDER 2019 THE HIGHWAYS ENGLAND (A249 TRUNK ROAD STOCKBURY ROUNDABOUT IMPROVEMENTS) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2019 JANUARY 2020 HE551521-ATK-LHA-XX-LN-ZL-000020 C01 DETAILED MODIFICATION No.1 Details of Modification Engineering Changes A 4m wide field access would be provided on the same line as the existing access to be stopped up by the published SRO, referenced as 1/4. The proposed infiltration pond would be reconfigured in a northerly direction to enable the replacement field access to be provided along the same line as the original access. The extent of the eastern tie-in works to Oad Street would be reduced by 20m. The reduction in the scheme boundary along the Oad Street widening section between approximate Chainages 50m to 200m to minimise land take impacts. The layout of the proposals at Oad Street as per the preliminary design is shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Extract from PCF Stage 3 Preliminary Design – Engineering General arrangement, ref. HE551521-ATK-HGN-XX_ML-DR-CH-000102_C04 HE551521-ATK-LHA-XX-LN-ZL-000020 C01 The modified layout of the proposals at Oad Street is shown in Figure 2 (also refer to Appendix A). Figure 2: Extract from sketch with ref. HE551521-ATK-HGN-XX_ML-SK-CH-001005_C04 Further details of the proposals and its environmental assessment are located in the Environmental Statement Addendum ref. HE551521-ATK-EGN-XX-RP-LM-000002. Reasons for Modification No. 1 This modification as shown on sketch HE551521-ATK-HGN-XX_ML-SK-CH-001005_C04 has been requested by the affected landowner – Mrs Mary Evans (Whipstakes Farm) and her Agent - Mr Sam Snart of Hobbs Parker Property Consultants, through a meeting with the Project team on 28 August 2019. Agreed actions from that meeting were summarised in minutes included in Appendix B. The modification is to provide an access to title K644086 as an existing access to this field would be stopped up by the published SRO. The access to be stopped up is marked as 1/4 on SRO Site Plan 1. This replacement access would also avoid the need to use the existing alternative access through Chestnut Wood ancient woodland. The affected landowner requested that the new access is located in close proximity to the existing access to be stopped up. Mrs Evans has also requested that the CPO does not impact the area directly in front of her garage. This would involve amending the design of the Oad Street improvements to relocate the proposed tie-in location to the west to avoid impacting the area in front of the garage. Mrs Evans has also expressed concerns about the impact of the proposed Oad Street widening and the need to relocate the existing boundary hedge and impact her land. The Oad Street improvements are required to provide a DMRB compliant highway cross section for two lanes of a total width of 7.3m and to provide a safer layout over a length which is currently constrained by the existing boundary hedge. However, the area behind the translocated hedge, within the published CPO could be reduced, with some minor amendments to the landscaping mitigation design HE551521-ATK-LHA-XX-LN-ZL-000020 C01 The Orders Affected This modification would change the following Orders which were published on the 13th June 2019: The Highways England (A249 Trunk Road Stockbury Roundabout Improvements) (Side Roads) Order 2019 The Highways England (A249 Trunk Road Stockbury Roundabout Improvements) Compulsory Purchase Order 2019 MODIFICATIONS TO THE PUBLISHED SIDE ROADS ORDER ORDER: There are no amendments required to the Order text.

These should be produced using the approach set out in national planning guidance, and be made publicly available throughout the plan-making process to provide transparency.” 1.3 This document represents a Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) between Kent County Council (KCC) and Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) (the Parties) that demonstrates how cross-boundary matters with respect to minerals and waste are being addressed and progressed. 1.4 Specifically this SoCG covers the following strategic matters: • Safeguarding of mineral resources • Safeguarding Minerals Management, Transportation & Waste Management Facilities • Allocation of land for extraction of minerals 1.5 KCC is the waste and minerals planning authority for the two tier area of Kent with responsibility for planning for the future management of waste and supply of minerals in the county by preparing relevant strategic policies.

    Maidstone Borough Council Final report March 2010 Foreword Foreword This report describes the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) undertaken in Maidstone Borough in 2009. It contains a wide ranging examination of the housing market, and it conforms to the major Government Guidance on the subject. It also provides part of the ‘evidence base’ on which a wide range of planning and housing policies can be based. Acknowledgements A large-scale assessment of this nature is a collaborative effort and Fordham Research wish to thank all members of the SHMA Steering Group for their support, guidance and contributions. We would also like to thank those local stakeholders who participated in the discussion and whose local knowledge and views have been immensely helpful. It is also important to recognise that this report would not have been possible without the co-operation of the general public who gave up their time to take part in household surveys for Maidstone Borough. Their assistance is gratefully acknowledged.

    Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000 : Saved / Unsaved

    PLEASE NOTE: THIS PLAN HAS BEEN AMENDED TO SHOW DELETED POLICIES WITH A STRUCK THROUGH LINE. AS MORE OF THE LDF REPLACES THE 2000 LOCAL PLAN, MORE OF THE LOCAL PLAN TEXT WILL BE AMENDED THIS WAY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ILLUSTRATE THE PLAN IN THIS MANNER SO THAT THE ORIGINAL CONTEXT OF THE POLICIES CAN STILL BE SEEN. FOREWORD This Local Plan has been prepared under the guidance of a small group of Councillors representing all political parties on the Council. It has now been adopted by the Council as a whole and sets out planning policies and proposals for protecting the environment and new development in the Borough of Maidstone until 2006. Its adoption follows a lengthy period of consultations and we would like to thank all those (Parish Councils, individual residents, local interest groups, landowners, developers and others) who have contributed through their representations during the consultation process. In preparing the Local Plan the Council has tried to strike a balance between protecting and improving the environment, whilst making provision for necessary development and encouraging a healthy economy. Whilst the Plan will not satisfy everyone, as different people have different interests, it sets the framework for development in the ‘public interest’. The Plan provides a statutory basis for planning decisions and the Council must determine planning applications in accordance with its provisions unless material factors indicate otherwise. The recent publication of Government advice that greenfield sites should be developed only if there is insufficient previously developed land to meet housing requirements, is a factor that the Council will need to take into account.
