Campaigners fight to stop 1,350 home development

A group of local residents are stepping up their campaign to fight what they have said would be the "largest ever development" in their part of Kent.

An outline planning application has been made to Canterbury City Council to build up to 1,350 homes near Brooklands Farm, close to Whitstable.

Supporters of the Save Brooklands Farmland group are objecting to the plans with concerns including road safety and the impact on the environment. No date has yet been set to hear the application.

The developers, Hallam Land, have been approached for comment. More here.
