Thank you to everyone who took the time to read, engage with, and comment on the Draft Chartham Neighbourhood Plan during the recent consultation.

Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable in helping us shape a plan that reflects the priorities and values of our community. We are now reviewing all comments and will carefully consider them and take action as required as we move toward the next stage of the plan’s development.

Consultation Documents

Key documents subject to consultation are available to view/download below, and the supporting evidence base can be found here. Hard copies of the documents can also be viewed at the Parish Council office subject to appointment, or at the above listed drop in sessions.

It was clear from our Scoping Consultation carried out in 2021 that green spaces within Chartham Parish are important features, much valued by the community. In the consultation, when asked, ‘Do you agree that we should be allocating suitable open space as Local Green Space’, 97% of the 92 respondents of that question answered ‘Yes’. 

In response to this, the Chartham Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has prepared this document to identify green spaces which are considered important enough to be afforded a level of protection in the Neighbourhood Plan.

Review of Local Green Spaces (December 2023)

A Parish Heritage Assets document has been finalised by AECOM, as a supporting document for the Chartham Parish Neighbourhood Plan.

There are many buildings and sites that do not meet national standards to be Listed but which are important from a local or regional perspective. The purpose of this review is to establish whether there are any non-designated heritage assets within our parish, that should be afforded protection by the neighbourhood plan for their local historical importance or significance. 

We have used the following criteria to consider assets in our parish:

  • Asset type
  • Age
  • Rarity
  • Architectural and Artistic Interest
  • Group Value
  • Archaeological Interest
  • Historic Interest
  • Landmark Status
