  • Comments on social media/facebook don't count towards the planning response.

Our approach

Teynham Parish Council's approach to responding to the Frognal Place planning application will be:

  • Provide an overview of what is happening (for example this page)
  • Seek to understand community views and concerns
  • Seek advice from a planning consultant to help guide us in the process
  • Work constructively with all parties
  • Gather facts and signpost sources of information.
  • Share community concerns with the developer.
  • Try to influence the way in which the development is delivered for the benefit of the local community (for current and future generations).
  • Raise awareness of the planning process, including how to respond.
  • Raise awareness of when major planning applications are available for comment.


Fact finding

Members of Teynham Parish Council met with Chartway, the Frognal Place developers to fact find and share a range of initial community concerns. Teynham Parish Council’s appointed planning consultant was also in attendance.

Our approach and a summary of the initial community concerns can be viewed online.

  • Chartway indicated that they will review and respond to these initial concerns over the next two weeks.
  • Teynham PC will publish the response in full.
  • Chartway also indicated that the reserved matters application (which relates to the appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of the development) of the already approved outline planning applicationfor Frognal Place is expected to be submitted by the developers to the Swale Planning Team in mid to late October.
  • This will be an opportunity for everyone to respond directly to the planning team with their personal comments.
  • We will keep you updated when we know the reserved matters application has been submitted.
