Planning application details
Land to West of Firs Lane, Hollingbourne, Kent, ME17 1XJ
Reference: 25/505209/FULL – Erection of 16 custom-build dwellings
Under the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015, local authorities must permit enough plots to meet registered demand. Between 2016–2023, 636 people registered with Maidstone Borough Council for custom-build opportunities — yet only three multi-unit sites have been approved during that period (12 units in Headcorn, 3 in Bearsted, and 9 in Sutton Valence).
This shortage means many people spend years searching for suitable opportunities. Supporting developments like this one helps increase the number of available plots and improves the chances for everyone looking to build their own home.
