Heathlands, Lidsing and Invicta Park Barracks - SPDs
Overview
The Maidstone Local Plan Review was adopted in March 2024, which guides the planning and development of 19,669 new homes, jobs and supporting facilities and infrastructure to be built up to 2038. A proportion of this growth will be accommodated at the three strategic development sites.
The council is preparing three Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) which are important and will provide further guidance to facilitate the delivery of these three sites as set out in the Local Plan Review.

Heathlands Garden Settlement Consultation
Two informal drop in engagement events were held on Saturday 10 May between 2pm and 8pm at Lenham Community Centre, 12 Groom Way, Lenham, Maidstone ME17 2QT and Tuesday 13 May between 2pm and 6pm at Dog and Bear Hotel, The Square, Lenham, Maidstone ME17 2PG attended by around 200 people. Residents and businesses were invited to these drop-in sessions for the Heathlands Garden Settlement to share their ideas to help shape the preparation of a Draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which the Local Planning Authority of Maidstone Borough Council is currently preparing. It is anticipated that the Draft SPD will be formally consulted upon later this summer/autumn.
For anyone who was unable to attend the drop-in sessions, the boards that were presented at these events are available here. The online consultation is still live where you can share your ideas via our digital survey. The closing date for this consultation will be on Sunday 25 May. Comments and feedback received will be used to inform the emerging Supplementary Planning Document.
