  • Local Plan DRAFT
    APPENDIX 1 Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council Local Plan DRAFT Regulation 19 Pre-Submission Publication July 2018 Foreword The Borough of Tonbridge and Malling is a diverse and characterful place. It includes areas of recent development and growth together with historic environments. Its geography is varied and the physical characteristics have and will continue to reflect patterns of land use and activity. It is a place where traditional and modern businesses thrive, where established and new communities have flourished but where pressures on community facilities, transport infrastructure and the environment are challenging. The Borough Council, working with a wide range of partners, have embraced the benefit of strategic planning over decades. That has been beneficial in shaping development and properly addressing needs for homes, jobs and supporting facilities in a planned way. Moving forward the continuation of that approach is ever more challenging, but in providing a sustainable and planned approach to our borough and providing for local needs this Plan takes on that challenge. This Local Plan relates closely to the borough and communities it will serve. It reflects national planning policy and shapes that locally, based on what is seen locally as the most important planning issues taking account of locally derived evidence. It is designed as a plan that is responsible in facing up to difficult choices and one which is based upon fostering care in the way we plan for this and future generations of Tonbridge and Malling. It provides a sound basis on which to judge planning applications, achieve investment and provide confidence about future development and future preservation where both are appropriate.

  • APPENDIX 1 KG CREATIVE CONSULTANCY Evidence On
    APPENDIX 1 KG CREATIVE CONSULTANCY Evidence on behalf of West Malling and East Malling and Larkfield District Councils on the Consideration of the Extension of the Green Belt in Tonbridge and Malling District Council. 1. This Tonbridge and Malling draft Local Plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination. The new Local Plan will provide planning policies until 2031. The Regulation 18 version of the draft Local Plan proposed the extension of the Green Belt eastwards from the current boundary at West Malling as far as the A228. 2. The Submission version of the draft Local Plan now proposes the extension of the Green Belt boundary further east to broadly Wateringbury Road. The representations submitted by West Malling and East Malling and Larkfield Parish Councils seek the extension of the Green Belt further east again, to Kiln Barn Road, as shown on page 49 of the Councils document - Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council Local Plan Green Belt Exceptional Circumstances Topic Paper (ED10). 3. The first hearings (Stage 1) into the local plan on a topic basis have been arranged and will hear evidence between October and November 2020. Matter 3 deals with the Metropolitan Green Belt (Policy LP 3) and evidence is scheduled to be heard on 4th and 5th November 2020. 4. I am instructed by West Malling and East Malling and Larkfield Parish Councils in respect of the proposals in the draft Tonbridge and Malling Local Plan for the extension of the existing Green Belt, generally in an eastern direction from its current boundary. It is worth noting here that the proposals by both the Borough Council and by the Parish Councils for their respective eastwards extensions, are 1 seeking an extension to an existing Green Belt boundary and not to the creation of an entirely new area of Green Belt.
