Garden Communities: Sittingbourne

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for what reason she called in Highsted Park outline planning applications 21/503906/EIOUT and 21/503914/EIOUT.

Answer

Call-in decisions are inherently about process and not the merits of any given planning application.

I refer the hon Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 26 March 2019 (HCWS1452), and on 26 October 2012, columns 71WS-72WS.

All relevant matters relating to the Highsted Park development will now be considered via a public inquiry.
