    Statement of Common Ground Between Kent County Council and Maidstone Borough Council Concerning (The Parties) Minerals and Waste

    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.

Introduction 1.1 A Plan for Lenham 1.1.1 This is the Regulation 14 version Lenham Neighbourhood Plan. It covers the parish of Lenham, as illustrated in Figure 1. It sets out the local community’s aspirations for Lenham over the period to 2031 and establishes policies in relation to land use and development. These are policies that will influence future planning applications and decisions in the area. 1.1.2 The purpose of neighbourhood planning is to give local people and businesses a much greater say in how the places in which they live and work should change and develop over time. Neighbourhood planning is designed to give local people a very real voice in deciding the look and feel of an area, from determining the location of shops, offices and schools for example, to identifying sites and development standards for new housing.

    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.
