Swale Weekly Planning List - Produced 5th March 2018

The latest list of applications received by the Council under the Town and Country Planning Acts.

You may inspect a copy of any application on our online planning database:

You can make your comments online or by Email to: planningcomments@midkent.gov.uk or in writing to Mid Kent Planning Support Service, Maidstone House, King Street, Maidstone ME15 6JQ. Please be aware that any comments, and your name and address will be placed on file, which will be available for public inspection and published in full on the Internet. We will not publish your signature, email address or phone number on our website. If an application is a householder application, in the event that an appeal is made against a decision of the Council to refuse to grant planning permission for the proposed development, and that appeal then proceeds by way of the expedited procedure under the written representations procedure, any representations will be passed to the Secretary of State and there will be no opportunity to make further representation.

We will not make a decision on any application referred to in this list before 21 days from the date when the application was registered as valid, with the exception of those with the following types of suffix: ADJ, AGRIC, COUNTY, CPD, DEMO, SUB, TELNOT, TCA, TWORK, NMAND, EIASCR or EIASCO which are on this list for information only.

The Beast From The East - Winter 2018



#TheBeastFromTheEast was forecast and it really did bring us the week of snowy, icy conditions and freezing cold temperatures the weathermen said it would.


Not being on any council gritting routes meant the heavy snow caused untold disruption to our village country lanes, side roads, public transport and services.

Residents showed great community spirit though and helped each other out. With support from local tractors fitted with snow ploughs, 4x4 drivers and essential supplies which still made it through to the Co-op, Upchurch and the surrounding villages coped well during the kind of harsh weather we rarely see these days.

A chilling overnight low temperature of -16.3º c was recorded in Holywell Lane and we even experienced ‘Freezing Rain’. Local Creeks froze over and delivery drivers and motorists got stuck in deep snow drifts.

Nearly all local schools were closed and perhaps the nicest thing to see was the school children all out knocking for their friends, away from their iPad and XBox screens for hours on end, enjoying one of the simplest pleasures in life - sledging.

This week saw some of the longest, busiest days I’ve known since running Upchurch Mattters. We passed on all the important information to residents we could across both Facebook and Twitter, and we hope everyone found this service useful. Keeping up was frantic at times!

A big thank you to everyone who messaged us this week with information to share, also for the lovely snowy pictures you have been sending in, and of course the wonderful videos you’ve filmed by drone. Jason’s stunning video really has gone viral and has been viewed over 6000 times already!

Weeks like this highlight the continued relevance of Upchurch Matters within our local community and has meant our Facebook page reached a whopping 27,000 people this week.

We're always grateful for all the support you give the website throughout the year.

Thanks to everyone for all your likes, shares and comments over this past week.

A great village effort!

Enjoy the warmer weather.
