MAIDSTONE BOROUGH DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT REGULATION 18 CONSULTATION

Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) has published the Regulation 18 version of its Design and Sustainability Development Plan Document, which will seek to set out policies to enhance the quality and sustainability of new development in the borough.

MBC is asking for your views on these and any others you think the DPD will need to cover.

MBC has prepared a series of consultation questions to help frame your feedback. You do not need to answer each question; just answer the ones which are most relevant to you.

The Design and Sustainability Development Plan Document can be viewed and downloaded from the MBC’s website:
