MARDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN REVIEW

VISION 2037

The Marden Neighbourhood Plan, which was adopted in February 2020, is currently under review to look at the existing policies alongside the National Planning Policy Framework and the Maidstone Local Plan Review. 

Unfortunately, following on from the Regulation 14 consultation in 2025, in transpires that a Modification Statement should have been produced to go alongside the consultation documentation.  Therefore, the Regulation 14 needs to go back out to consultation and this will run from 2nd March to 10th April 2026 with an open morning planned for Saturday 7th March at the Vestry Hall - further details to follow.

In May 2022 Marden Neighbourhood Plan (MNP) Steering Group held an Open Day and invited residents to come along to look at proposals for the MNP Review.

It was a successful morning and you can see below the information that was made available.

The feedback from the open day was incorporated into the draft proposal which was sent to MBC.
