| Development & Planning |
All planning proposals related to Bearsted and Thurnham submitted to Maidstone Borough Council, and the Council's own development plans, are carefully scrutinised by the Society. Where these are considered to be undesirable of capable of improvement, the Society lodges written objections or observations based in the Councils planning policies and related legislation.
The Society liaises closely with the two Parish Councils and with our borough Councillors to ensure that objectionable applications are not decided by officials under delegated powers but are called in to the Council's Planning Committee for decision. The Society attends and speaks at those meetings when necessary. The Society tries to ensure that residents in the areas affected by the most questionable applications are made aware of them.
