  • Maidstone Borough Council Freedom of Information Act Request Ref: FOI
    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.

  • Outcome of Public Consultation on Proposed Closure of Detling Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School, Maidstone
    Item No B3 By: Director - Operations To: School Organisation Advisory Board – 18 September 2006 Subject DETLING CHURCH OF ENGLAND (VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED) PRIMARY SCHOOL, MAIDSTONE: PROPOSED CLOSURE - OUTCOME OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION. Classification: Unrestricted File Ref: _______________________________________________________________________________ Summary: This report sets out the results of the public consultation. It seeks the views of the School Organisation Advisory Board on the proposed closure of Detling Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School by the issuing of a public notice for the closure of the school. ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction 1. (1) The School Organisation Advisory Board at its meeting on 8 June 2006 supported the undertaking of a public consultation on the proposal to close Detling Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School. (2) Detling CEP School serves the immediate community of the village as well as a number of families from the Stockbury area. The school has a PAN of 15, with a net capacity of 83. It had 44 pupils on roll in January 2006. The school operates a three class structure, although on projected pupil numbers this is unsustainable. Its roll fell from 44 in January 2006 to just 31 by 8 June 2006. A map is attached in Appendix 1, which shows the location of the school and the current pupil distribution. Background Information 2. (1) In Maidstone Borough there are 53 primary schools with a combined net capacity of 13,337. There are currently 11,662 pupils attending these schools giving a surplus capacity of 12.6%. (2) The Primary Strategy (Recommendation 27) states that "wherever surplus primary capacity is projected to rise above 7% in any cluster area, proposals should be brought forward to reduce it to 5%.
