Responding to the planning applications
Teynham PC has already responded to the original and updated Highsted Park planning applications. A copy of both responses are shown below.
Teynham Parish Council continues to object to the proposed Highsted Park North and South developments, individually or as combined applications.
Working with Doddington, Lynsted with Kingsdown, and Tonge Parish Councils and professional consultants, Teynham PC has produced two separate reports outlining objections to the planning applications as they currently stand. The reports cover general planning matters and transport considerations, are available below.
