Consultation begins

Your feedback is invaluable and, where possible and appropriate, we will look to incorporate your comments into our evolving plans.

Consultation on our proposals opened on 3rd April 2025, at which time all the project information was made available on this page. We also hosted a public event on 3rd April 2025 where the project team were on hand to answer your questions and receive your feedback. 

We submitted a ‘Screening Request’ to Swale Borough Council, to agree our proposed approach to assessing environmental effects and share the results of our early assessments. This ensured we can identify and consider all potential significant effects on the surrounding environment. 

Consultation closes

The consultation period closed on 18th April, following which we reviewed the feedback, refined our plans where possible and appropriate, and submitted a planning application to Swale Borough Council. 

Planning submission

A planning application for this scheme was formally submitted to Swale Borough Council on Friday, 15th August, and the full suite of planning documents is now available for public, statutory consultee, and elected member review and comment. 

As part of our full planning application, we have submitted a document that summarises the comments received from the local community.

The planning application reference is as follows: 25/503466/FULL

Swale Borough Council will conduct its own statutory consultation before determining the application.

We continue to welcome feedback on the proposal via the planning portal.
