CSM 9: Building Stone in Kent

Planning permission will be granted for small-scale proposals that are needed to provide a supply of suitable local building stone necessary for restoration work associated with the maintenance of Kent’s historic buildings and structures and new build projects within conservation areas, subject to:

  • development taking place in appropriate locations where the proposals do not have unacceptable adverse impacts on the local environment and communities
  • there being no other suitable, sustainable sources of the stone available
  • the site is restored to a high quality standard and appropriate after-use that supports the local landscape character
