Maidstone Call for Sites 2025
Gypsy and Traveller Call for Sites
The Maidstone Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document (DPD) will allocate sites for development in the period 2023 to 2040 to meet the accommodation needs of the borough’s Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople households.
We have previously undertaken 3 call for sites engagement exercises however limited sites have been promoted for Traveller accommodation. Our new need figure indicates a total need for approximately 529 pitches and 7 plots for the period 2023 until 2040.
This call for sites engagement exercise offers another opportunity for submitting new sites for Traveller accommodation so that we can consider all possible sites.
Guidelines for submission
- Please complete a separate form for each site.
- Please include as much information as possible including your connection to the site; you must also provide a location map that clearly identifies the site boundary and any adjacent land also under your control/ownership. Sites can be put forward by anyone or any organisation, although typically they are promoted by landowners, developers, agents, local businesses, individuals and groups.
- Please do not send in details of sites beyond the Maidstone borough boundary.
- Sites submitted in response to previous calls for sites do not need to be resubmitted. If you wish to send us updated information on sites previously submitted, please contact us using the email address below.
Please note that any information you submit will be made publicly available by Maidstone Borough Council and will be identifiable by name or organisation, although the Council will redact any signatures and contact details.
If you are in doubt about whether to submit a site or if you have any other queries, please contact the Strategic Planning Team by emailing LDF@maidstone.gov.uk
Or by post to: Call for Sites, Strategic Planning Team, Maidstone House, King Street, Maidstone, ME15 6JQ.
