• Swale is facing considerable challenges as to how it can plan for the significant levels of new homes that it will be expected to provide in future.
• We are asking landowners and developers to submit proposals for new communities so that we can see if this option should be considered by the next local plan.
• We have prepared a Prospectus which explains what a ‘garden’ community is and what we will expect to see included within any submission.
• Submissions will be independently assessed and we will then decide whether any new communities should be shortlisted as one of the options to be considered by the next local plan.
They are looking only for submissions from developers
