A High Court judge, Mr Justice Fordham, yesterday refused permission for Bredhurst Parish Council (BPC) to bring a claim for statutory review of the adoption of the Maidstone Local Plan Review, and in particular the allocation of Lidsing Garden Village as a strategic site. This decision signals the end of the road for the legal process. This means that the site allocation stands. BPC and its legal advisers will work with Maidstone Borough Council and the developer, FD Attwood and Partners, on the Supplementary Planning Document which will set out more detail on the form of development that comes forward, including access issues.
