Against Newington Pond Farm development

Fight to reject the plans for Gladman developments to build 300 houses on beautiful orchards at Pond Farm in the village of Newington Kent. Gladman developments are snapping up every piece of countryside they can turning the countryside into a concrete jungle - Say NO Swale Borough Council !!

Why is this important?

This is a much loved beautiful part of Rural Kent. Developments should be kept to outskirts of towns or cities not small country villages. Total of over 1600 houses currently proposed in the Sittingbourne area!! Orchards are an ever diminishing, fundamentally important part of our countryside - this area is loved and enjoyed by all the local families as free access is given for walking across the Orchards. Doctors, Schools Hospitals cannot take this increase in volume the road network pollution and other impacts to the local environment cannot sustain this development.

PLEASE TAKE 5 MINUTES TO OBJECT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT

Individually object to the planning application in writing or email below quoting:-

Pond Farm Newington 15/500671/OUT

Mid Kent Planning Support, Maidstone House, King Street, Maidstone ME15 6JQ Email: [email protected]
Some objection reasons:-
• Is not in Swale Borough Council's local plan for housing-wrong location
• Would increase the village size by 30%
• Loss of grade 1 farm land & risk to rare species of wildlife
• Would increase pollution on Newington high st to over acceptable EU levels
• Totally destructive to local wildlife and nature
• Not a sustainable site no transport infrastructure plans

How it will be delivered

In person to Swale Borough Council

Newington, Sittingbourne
