EXTRA ORDINARY FULL COUNCIL MEETING – SCHEDULED FOR 2ND SEPTEMBER 2025: DEFERRED

Following advertising of the Extra Ordinary Full Council Meeting to be held on 2nd September Cllrs have requested that I obtain permission to share publicly the briefing note from the developer’s planning team received from a meeting held at Maidstone Borough Council regarding proposals for development on land North of Maidstone Road before updating residents on the current situation.

Therefore, I have deferred this meeting until 9th September, same venue and time, to allow Cllrs the opportunity to gather as much information as possible to help inform residents but will now form part of the monthly Full Council meeting.

The parish council’s website page will also be updated with an explanatory note about the current status, expected next steps and details about how and when Cllrs and members of the public would be involved in the process in due course.

To view MPC’s Call for Sites response in 2020 on this site please visit:  Land North of Marden - Marden Parish Council - Marden Parish Council, Marden, Tonbridge

Please note that the meeting on the 9th will not be a meeting when Cllrs will make any decisions or recommendations on the proposals as no formal planning application has been received but will be an opportunity to consider the expected next steps, timeframes and details on how the Parish Council and residents will be involved in the planning process.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me on 01622 832305 or [email protected].

Alison Hooker

Proper Officer to Marden Parish Council

The Planning Committee meeting will go ahead with the items published on the agenda but will be held in the Parish Office commencing at 7.30pm.
