STOP HIGHSTED PARK – REQUEST FOR DONATIONS
Teynham & Highsted Community Action has been launched to fight the two applications known as ‘Highsted Park’ – a new town of 8,400 houses to be built between Faversham and Sittingbourne. We are a consortium of five local parish councils – Doddington, Lynsted with Kingsdown, Newnham, Teynham, and Tonge.
Highsted Park, if granted permission, would:
- urbanise the rural countryside by building on top quality agricultural land needed for food production
- cause harm to designated heritage assets and habitat sites
- create a new motorway junction within the protected Kent Downs ’National Landscape’
- increase traffic and worsen air quality on the local road network
- threaten conservation areas and ancient woodland
- put excessive strain on local infrastructure such as healthcare and water supply/drainage
We need to raise £40,000 to fund the cost of a planning barrister and expert consultants to represent us in the forthcoming Public Inquiry – at which we have been granted ‘Rule 6’ status, making us a main party to the proceedings.
If you believe in protecting our precious green spaces, please send your donation – however small or large – to:
