Borough Green Parish Council's letter: 

Mr Hughes Following discussion at last week's meeting of Borough Green Parish Council, it was resolved to issue the following statement:  "This council supports the statement by Cllrs Evans and Murray calling for the Local Development Framework  policy  to be revisited, with particular reference to Isles Quarry West housing density and traffic management. We are currently drawing up a new Parish Plan to replace that presented in evidence to the Local Development Framework in April 2005". The foregoing is for your information and action as appropriate. Regards

Wrotham Parish Council's letter: 

Dear Mike Taylor

I am replying to your email of the 26 August 2010 regarding Isles Quarry Housing

and drawing the Parish Councils attention to a letter written by Cllr Murray and Cllr

Evans to the Sevenoaks Chronicle on this matter. Members considered your letter at

yesterday’s meeting.

WPC’s original response to the LDF consultation document regarding housing at Isles

Quarry West (IQW) was as follows.

“WPC does not agree with the proposal to remove IQW from the Green Belt and

considers that any development that can be justified there should be of a lower

density compatible with Green Belt policy.”

I note that this original policy is compatible with Cllr Evans and Cllr Murray’s sentiments regarding housing density as expressed in their letter.

Wrotham Parish Council is of the opinion that social housing should not be concentrated in geographical areas as this can be a significant factor in subsequent anti social behaviour.

We believe that the mix of social and private housing should be more evenly distributed, in particular, by the measure of the ratio of private to social homes amongst the Northern Parishes of T&MBC

Yours sincerely

Clerk to Wrotham Parish Council

Platt Parish Council's letter:  

Dear Mr Hughes

 Platt Parish Council wishes to inform you that it is in total support of Borough Green Parish Council's letter calling for the LDF policy on Isles Quarry West to be revisited, with particularly reference to housing density and traffic management. After seeing plans for Isles Quarry West, the Council realises that there will be a lot of impact on our Parish.  In particular one of the proposed road schemes for the Isles Quarry development will impact on Basted Mill residents. 

Regards,

Clerk to Platt PC
