Whilst many Upchurch residents have already lodged objections to this development within the village, it does give further opportunity to others who may not be aware of this proposal, to make their feelings known.
The main objections to this development have been:
Jubilee Fields is a Greenfield Site.
The site forms part of the character of Upchurch as a village rather than an urban area.
Planning was refused in 2008 by S.B.C. and 2009 by the Secretary of State.
The infrastructure of the village would be under tremendous strain, sewage, water, doctors, school, electricity, parking, additional traffic and light pollution to name a few.
Upchurch has already a substantial number of planning proposals either passed or under consideration such as:-
50+ homes at Four Gun Field
15 homes at Canterbury Lane
300 + homes at Otterham Quay Lane
All of which will erode the rural gap.
If Upchurch is to remain a village it is important as residents that we express our feelings to Swale Planning Department. Contact details are:-

Please remember your comments count in trying to keep Upchurch a village.
