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. Although the Plan has been prepared in accordance with this general principle, there is a need to reconsider in detail the ability of existing built-up areas to accommodate additional housing, particularly in the light of Government’s encouragement of higher housing densities. Consequently, the Borough Council is arranging for an urban capacity study to be carried out as a matter of urgency in order to review the housing allocations in the Plan. This study will also contribute towards a full review of the Local Plan allocations, rolling proposals forward as far as 2016.

    Statement of Common Ground Between Kent County Council and Maidstone Borough Council Concerning (the Parties) Minerals and Waste Safeguarding and Allocation of Mineral Sites Updated May 2019 1.0 Introduction and Parties Involved 1.1 National policy1 states that: “Local planning authorities and county councils (in two-tier areas) are under a duty to cooperate with each other, and with other prescribed bodies, on strategic matters that cross administrative boundaries.” and “Strategic policy-making authorities should collaborate to identify the relevant strategic matters which they need to address in their plans.” 1.2 It also states2: “In order to demonstrate effective and on-going joint working, strategic policy-making authorities should prepare and maintain one or more statements of common ground, documenting the cross-boundary matters being addressed and progress in cooperating to address these. 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.
