RENEWED THREAT: REVISION OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR 86 HOMES SOUTH OF GREENSTREET
We have until 18th February 2021 to Object to this new Revision. Because the Illustrative Plans have change, you must now repeat any objections you made before! That is just "Planning Rules".
"Objection Guidelines" I have pulled together some thoughts about headings that you might find helpful.
I have also pulled together a "Handling tick list" based on KCC/SBC guidance to make sure your Objections don't get lost in the system!
MY POLLUTION REPORT - I have sent in a detailed record of pollution episodes just West of AQMA5 + mobile mapping of pollution between February 2019 and February 2020 [a pre-Covid picture when traffic levels were "normal"].
Don't be intimidated by the number of pages - 90%+ is a table of daily measurements and comments. Download PDF File.
Lynsted with Kingsdown Parish Council letter of Objection, 15th February 2021 - read here
You may be interested in Cllr Baldocks defence of Newington AQMA1 in 2016 based on -
- no employment,
- too much traffic,
- increase in pollution.
That development was successfully quashed by the Court of Appeal. A legal precedent is set.
Here is his submission (under cover of CPRE letter paper).
KCC HIGHWAYS SAY "NO"

Here we go again!
My "starter for ten points" has been submitted to the Planning Portal on 23rd October 2019
We have raised many issues of concern, most have direct connection with SBC legal responsibilities to "reduce" harm and reinforce the importance of "Lynsted with Kingsdown Parish" as a rural parish that benefits us all - north and south of the A2.
If this proposal is revisited by the Developers to make material changes,
we will have to stand ready to resubmit ALL our objections
because SBC would fire a new "Starting Gun."

to apply the test of "cumulative impact"where AQMAs are declared and reject Proposals
that seek to avoid this responsibility under cover of "mitigation" (miles away!). PDF Copy of the Judgement.

ALL development approvals that join the A2 must logically add pollution to the AQMAs. We are already living with harmful levels of pollution from heavy and often congested traffic. |

OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
TOXIC MIX APPROVED FOR CONSUMPTION BY YOUR COUNCILThis website grew from ad hoc entries into the www.lynsted.com website - hopefully this new site allows for better structure and clarity. Please let me know if you have suggestions for changes or additions.
Innovation around Facebook. I am instinctively suspicious of Facebook but I have decided to try a Facebook Page in support of this website - https://www.facebook.com/Aqma5a2. My intention (so far) is to share ideas about vocabulary used in planning and pollution. Perhaps also pick on interesting ideas from the news or policy-makers. For those of you who don't 'do' Facebook, I have added a page to this site in which Facebook posts will appear from time to time. Go to my web-page for non-Facebook peeps.
