As a resident if you are concerned about a Planning Application you can comment directly to Maidstone Borough Council.
If you would like advice or support from BPC, please contact the office.
MBC’s planning process incorporates a 21-day period of consultation. Applications can be made at any time, and each is published together with the date upon which comment is due.
BPC’s Planning working group will make reasonable efforts to note comments raised on the MBC planning portal. To ensure that residents’ views can be considered properly, we recommend that comments are registered in a timely manner. Where residents consider that an application is especially contentious, we recommend early comment on MBC’s Planning Portal supported by email to BPC and to the relevant MBC case officer.
