Fighting TWBC’s Draft Local Plan plan which currently proposes 4,000+ new dwellings in the Parish of Capel on Green Belt.

@james_rands So you would be comfortable moving forward with a Local Plan which has been stated to be unsustainable by a National Inspector?

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@LibbyBudd @james_rands Yes, some Cllrs saw sense at the time. The tactic may have worked for Tudeley but the people of Capel should never have been sacrificed by the rest of the borough. Legal help to get this far does not come cheap and it has been paid for by those living in the parish.

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@james_rands Turns out tho that having a plan with huge swathes of unsustainable development isnt better than not having a plan tho! Cllrs should have listened to sense at the time and got it fixed before the costs mounted up

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@james_rands Cllr Rand was one of those that voted for the plan.

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@james_rands The inspector picked up on most of the points @savecapel highlighted years ago. Concerns that were ignored by many Cllrs when they voted to take the plan forward - Maybe in the hope that their own parishes would not then be blighted by development?

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

https://t.co/hwSDRFPxve The national inspector advises TWBC drop Tudeley town from its proposed local plan...Kind of what we said!

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@Twellsense And the inspector pointed out so many of the flaws in the plan that @savecapel highighted back in 2019! so much time and money wasted to try and push through a flawed plan... and why?

Iain Dale's strong words on the performance of the council in Tunbridge Wells.

Interesting that the Inspector still has to ask for so much information on 'Duty to Cooperate' - TWBC knew other Local Plans had failed on this, so surely they should have adopted a belt and braces approach... https://t.co/1AqqVbAVyw

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@angela_funnell When TMBC and Sevenoaks plans failed on DTC surely TWBC should have paused to think to, but instead they spend £4m before admitting it may be a problem.

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

@angela_funnell So, if Duty to Cooperate was known to be such a difficult thing to have got right, why did TWBC continue to push the plan forward at great cost and against the trend to pause for clarification re greenbelt?

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

It will be interesting to see whether TWBC has a ‘duty to cooperate’ ace up its sleeve on 29 March. https://t.co/9CpPZGMzqv

Day 2 of the public Local Plan examination. It's certainly worth a listen . We hope that all the Cllrs that voted the draft plan through are now paying attention to what they voted for. https://t.co/5maTYIreei

[SaveCapel @SaveCapel]

There is growing voter anger about the 17000+ acres of green space Kent could lose if developers are allowed to take the easy option to build on greenfield instead of brownfield Kent MPs beware! @GregClarkMP #savekentsgreenspaces
