Call for sites / site assessments
On 7th June 2025, the Chart Sutton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group hosted an event at the Village Hall about the process we are following to identify a potential site/sites for housing development in the parish. This is in response to the need to identify space for approximately 35 homes as required by the Maidstone Local Plan Review.
A Local Call for Sites was issued earlier this year and 11 sites were submitted to the Parish Council. The Steering Group met with each of the site promoters to talk through their submission and gather additional information.
Each site has been assessed at a high-level following the Maidstone Borough Council site assessment methodology. This included an additional assessment of whether the site could bring forward additional community benefits.
The following documents can be viewed below :
