Heathlands Garden Settlement SPD

Q2: Do you agree that the correct key issues and elements have been identified in relation to the context of the site?

Representation ID: 110

Received: 18/11/2025

Respondent: Mrs Barbara Skinner

Representation Summary:

As a resident in Lenham, I agree that several key issues have been identified, but the SPD needs stronger commitments around infrastructure delivery.
Section C (Movement & Transport) recognises pressure on roads and services, but more detail is needed on capacity and mitigation.
Section D (Delivery & Phasing) needs binding milestones that ensure core infrastructure is delivered before substantial occupation of new homes.


Our response:

Comment noted.
The SPD takes forward the requirements of Policy LPRSP4(A) of the Local Plan Review which established the necessary scope of infrastructure.
Figure 19 at Section D of the SPD replicates the required phasing of development and associated infrastructure.
Infrastructure will be secured through the use of planning conditions and legal agreements, as part of the consideration and determination of future planning applications.

Q3: Are there any issues and elements which you feel are inaccurate or missing? 

Representation ID: 111

Received: 18/11/2025

Respondent: Mrs Barbara Skinner

Representation Summary:

Infrastructure promises need to be binding, enforceable, and delivered early


Our response:

Comment noted.
The SPD takes forward the requirements of Policy LPRSP4(A) of the Local Plan Review which established the necessary scope and phasing of infrastructure, and is replicated within Figure 19 at Section D. Paragraph 7.2.5 sets out that infrastructure will be secured at the appropriate time as the development comes forward through the use of planning conditions and legal agreements.
