Together, we will aim to Educate Croudace Homes, MBC Planning Authorities and Planning Committee of the Needs, Wants and Desires of Allington Residents as they consider and finally decide how to develop the site for our mutual benefit. Together, we will advise them of what they cannot do if they respect Public Opinion. Together, we will oppose any unfair treatment of our Natural Green Space & Amenity.

Planning Applications (MBC) 13/1749
We are not out of the Woods yet !!
The recent application was refused by both MBC and Tonbridge & Malling. Croudace will now go to Appeal because they firmly believe they will get a favourable decision from the Inspector because of the NPPF Regulations. Now is the time for you to voice your opinion…..! If we do not let Croudace know how we continue to feel about this development they will think we going to accept one of their schemes… VOICE YOUR OPINION The leaflet from Barton Willmore is confusing. (we hope you agree?) As a resident in this area NEITHER scheme is acceptable. Scheme 3 - confusion over no of houses - they propose to build 420 PLUS 80 = 500... NOT just 80 houses. Access road between the fields will cut across the ancient woodland - causing irretrievable damage. Scheme 2 - no of houses will be 420 built in reservoir field - this number needs to be reduced. No infrastructure in place in this area to cope with either scheme. Too much traffic will be generated by this development into Hermitage Lane. Neither schemes even mention MBC's requirement of a country park… (this will also safe guard future development in the lower fields…) VISIT THE SCHEME WEBPAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION |
PLANNING MEETING 8/11/18
GREEDY DEVELOPERS CROUDACE HAVE THEIR PLANNING APPLICATION DEFERRED 27-09-2018NAAGs PRESS RELEASE 27-09-2018
At the MBC Planning Committee meeting held on Thursday 27 September 2018 the Phase 4 Proposal for Reserved Matters for appears, landscaping, layout and scale for the southern field was on the agenda.
Included in this proposal was the access road across the ancient woodland into the northern field setting out the number of trees which would be destroyed, the safety measures for the road crossing the PROW in the woods etc. NAAGs had opposed this proposal and one of our members, Angela Poletti, had a 3 minute speech to substantiate our reasons. There have been recent alterations in the NPFF Regulations concerning ancient woodlands which were introduced into the Committee discussions. At the Planning Inquiry Croudace had outlined 5 options for this access road across the woods and had decided that Option 3 would cause the least amount of environmental damage to the woods. BUT it would also cause more destruction in the ancient woodland than some of the other Options and it was proposed and seconded by the councillors that this proposal be deferred until more information was available on Option 2 and 5 of the proposals. This deferment is the first good news we have had in the last 5 years of our opposition to the scheme and we are now, once again, undertaking our own investigation into these Options as well as gaining an in-depth knowledge of the NPPF amendments to developing in and around ancient woodlands. We are, therefore asking once again, that the residents in the Allington area to support and help us gather the information we require to further our opposition to an access road across the ancient woodland. Chair and Committee New Allington Action Group ALLINGTON - 2 GP SURGERIES TO CLOSE AT THE SAME TIME LEAVING 5000 PATIENTS WITHOUT A DOCTOR? 27-03-2018WHAT TO DO NEXT
Are you one of the many thousands of patients affected by the pending closure of Allington Park Surgery and Allington Clinic in May 2018? Comment, like and share this post far and wide if this impacts you... (this needs to go viral) It is not good enough that 2 essential health services serving a local community are to close with just 2 months notice. The alternatives are not looking too good either with all other neighbouring surgeries posting notices that their books are closed. The NHS’s CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) have to provide alternatives, so you will not be left without access to doctors. However the alternatives might be impossible and majorly inconvenient for elderly and disabled persons to easily reach with additional travel to be incurred which will impact on additional traffic on Allington’s already congested road network. (and will also increase Nox emission levels in the area with added traffic)... WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNCILLOR AND ASK FOR THEIR HELP TO SEEK SENSIBLE AND TANGIBLE PROVISION OF LOCAL GP’S FOR ALLINGTON. DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR ANSWERS IF THEY RESPOND THAT THE MATTER IS OUT OF THEIR HANDS, THEY ARE VERY MUCH AT FAULT AS THEY VOTED FOR THE MAIDSTONE LOCAL PLAN TO INTRODUCE MORE HOUSING INTO MAIDSTONE WITHOUT PROPER INFRASTUCTURE IN PLACE FIRST... THEY ALSO IGNORED RESIDENTS COMMENTS AT PLANNING MEETINGS WHEREBY THEY WERE TOLD SURGERIES WERE AT CAPACITY ALREADY, AND SCHOOLS HAD REACHED THEIR QUOTA TOO. Your local Libdem councillors in Allington are Dan Daley, Cynthia Robertson, James Willis and Diana Lewins. When contacting them may be ask: 🔘 Why have the the Libdem councillors been so insistent on building new houses in Allington without upgraded public services that currently are already at saturation point? 🔘 Ask why the Libdem administration never discussed any contingency plans with the CCG for such problems of GP closures occurring? 🔘 Ask what are they actively doing to ensure these Allington surgeries remain open? 🔘 And finally, ask the Libdem councillors what provisions are in place for the 4000 new Hermitage Park (Croudace’s Land East Of Hermitage Lane) development residents when occupation commences in just 1 months time. [heads up, there is no planned GP surgery]…? Local elections 🗳 take place in May, maybe you need to consider the answers to the questions above when putting that tick ✅ in your vote box. #hermitagelane #allingtongps #saveallington Link to recent Kent Online article: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/…/two-village-surgeries-face-c…/ Link to Downsmail article: http://www.downsmail.co.uk/…/Shock_as_two_village_doctors_…/ WHO WILL YOU VOTE FOR IN ALLINGTON

YET MORE TRAFFIC CHAOS AND MISERY ON HERMITAGE LANE (12-06-17)
|
|
|
Hermitage Lane continues to be our daily dose of misery now that Croudace Homes have commenced their roadworks to create their junction and install yet more non intelligent traffic lights. Roadworks are due to continue into July it is understood.
All our journeys to work, home, school, hospital and just normal shopping trips etc are endlessly affected with delays by the blight of Hermitage Lane.
And it won't end here... The rest of 2017 and into 2018 and onwards to 2030 will see yet more developments being proposed along this corridor. boooo hissss !!!!
KCC highways have never objected to any traffic issues or imposed restrictions or mitigation measures for these developments. This proves to the people of Maidstone & Tonbridge & Malling that KCC are incompetent to the highest degree. How can they not see the devastation they are allowing to take place to our road network?
Pollution levels due to vehicle fumes have been measured in Hermitage Lane and already break EU regulations. Think what this is doing to our health and the health of future generations. The Lane cannot support any more vehicles.
Gallaghers quarry outputs ~900 vehicle movements alone per day and these types of lorries are the biggest source of pollutants on the roads today...
"NEXT STOP" is the new application (just in) for phase 2 of Croudaces site for another 119 houses on Hermitage Lane. Application ref 17/502767/REM refers. We all have until the 6th July to send our objections to MBC. See letter attached to this post. This application has been made in a calculated timescale as when it comes before planning committee in late July the holiday season will be upon us with the hope from Croudace that there will be a lack of interest and people present so they will obtain their required result with relative ease! How wrong is our planning system? How conniving, calculating and greedy are these developers?
ALL SUPPORTERS AGAINST THESE DEVELOPMENTS MUST ENSURE YOU PERSONALLY WRITE AND OBJECT. DON'T THINK SOMEONE ELSES VOICE WILL BE YOURS. EVERY RESIDENTS LETTER MATTERS... WRITE TODAY, WRITE RIGHT NOW..... YES NOW!
If you have your say then you can hold your head up high knowing you have done your bit of the process. No say = misery for all, so thank-you in advance for your objection letter to Gladman.
To object email: planningsupport@midkent.gov.uk or go to www.planningportal.gov.uk using the reference 17/502767/REM

NAAG's OBJECT TO 840 MORE HOUSES IN HERMITAGE LANE (12-06-17)
READ FULL ARTICLE HERE
HERMITAGE LANE POLLUTION LEVELS BREAK EU GUIDELINES (08-02-17)
In November/December 2016 NAAGs commenced a project to monitor and record the Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) pollution levels along Hermitage Lane. Why? because no-one else was - and the developers use environmental air quality data from testing stations 5-10+ miles away and think that's OK. We thought differently about this and decided to perform our own tests at our own expense. The results were alarming, the results clearly demonstrate that the air we breath along Hermitage Lane breaks EU guidelines. And it is only set to get worse with the introduction of more vehicles due to over development of the locality. Traffic lights are the worst culprit of pollution on roads and Hermitage Lane will very soon look like the LAS VEGAS strip with all its traffic lights at intersections of housing entrances, and yet KCC highways still insist on traffic lights over self regulating roundabouts which are far more eco friendly and cost less to maintain. View the report here
RESIDENTS OF MAIDSTONE ARE NEEDED TO ATTEND THE TOWN HALL ON THE 8TH DECEMBER 2016. LEofHL GOES TO PLANNING COMMITTEE (03-12-16)
** E V E R Y O N E N E E D S T O A T T E N D **
In 2013 NAAG's unwittingly managed to delay the commencement of the planning meeting due to over 200 members of public staging a peaceful protest outside the town hall and then wanting to get into the council chamber to witness the meeting, a room that could only hold around 50 people. Chaos ensued for sometime until another overflow room was opened. This was quoted by the planning chairman as being the biggest audience he had seen in the town hall ever!
So NOW in 2016 we want to beat that number of 200 people and demonstrate to councillors, planning officers and executives that an even bigger volume of public opinion has gathered to protest against the forces the council and developers are placing on our lives... we do not live in a dictatorship, our opinion needs to be listened to and we will stand up and be counted. The accumulative effects development is having in our area of Allington and Hermitage Lane is catastrophic and totally without thought and consideration to those it impacts the most.
WE ARE NOT BEING LISTENED TO.
****** PEOPLE POWER WILL NOW SPEAK OUT ! ******
Where are when to attend?
===================

DEVELOPERS WANT TO CLOSE OUR QUEENS ROAD CONVENIENCE STORE (07-11-16)
Once again a developer has seen an opportunity to build houses to gain profits at the expense of the local community by submitting a planning application to MBC to demolish the Payless Store, Queens Road and build 6 houses on the site.
This shop is the only convenience store in close proximity to several estates and properties in Queens Road. It is impractical to build even more houses in this area as Queens Road has been over developed in recent years and is becoming a rat run due to traffic trying to avoid the Hermitage Lane congestion as well as all the traffic generated by the schools.
For once planners should consider the needs of the existing residents, many of them elderly. Local Residents have set up a petition opposing this application and would ask that as many people as possible write :
Geoff Brown, Planning Dept,
MBC,
Maidstone House,
King Street,
Maidstone ME15 6JQ - quoting 16/507472 by 28 November 2016.
