Maidstone Borough Council Freedom of Information Act Request Ref: EIR 8065 Date: 24/06/2019 Request and Response Please provide me with information under the Freedom of Information Act regarding:- Details of Planning Permissions, and/or Action the Council is taking in respect of Motocross Sites in Maidstone Borough. Please see below. However, please note that the request is ambiguous as it doesn’t specify a time period for the search, nor does it specify the parameters of “Action”. For example, planning permissions that were granted some decades ago may not have shown up in our searches, so the results may or may not satisfy the request. I have not carried out searches outside the term “Motorcross” or “Motocross” so it’s possible that there may be other cases that are similar but fall outside this exact description. In addition please also note that the term “Action” has been defined as the service of a formal Enforcement Notice. Planning applications search results - Motorcross and Motocross Ref.
