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 £31,000 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.
