Policy information sourced from Tonbridge and Malling Core Strategy
CP11 Urban Areas
Development will be concentrated within the confines of the urban areas of:
- Tonbridge (including Hilden Park);
- The Medway Gap (i.e. the major developed parts of Kings Hill, Leybourne, East Malling, Larkfield, Lunsford Park, Ditton and Aylesford south of the River Medway, Aylesford Forstal, and Snodland);
- The part of the Medway Towns urban area that lies within Tonbridge and Malling Borough (Walderslade).
Development adjoining these urban areas will only be proposed in the LDF, or otherwise permitted, where there is an identified need and there are no suitable sites within the urban areas. Priority will be afforded to the use of previously developed land. In the case of Tonbridge, priority will be afforded to the use of the safeguarded land identified under Policy CP4.
