The Executive Committee, through its Town Planning Group, is currently preparing the Society’s Regulation 19 representations. These will include a challenge to the lawfulness/soundness of the Policy ST4 “Greenfield Grey Belt Site Allocations” around Sevenoaks (page 66).  The Society, having taken the advice of a planning barrister, has been advised that there is “a reasonable and properly arguable case” that the methodology used by the District Council for the designation of Grey Belt was based on an erroneous basis. Attached is the barrister’s Opinion.”
