We the undersigned call upon Maidstone District Council to maintain and secure the beauty, tranquillity and rural character of the unique areas of Wierton, Chart Sutton, Boughton Monchelsea and the Greensand Ridge. In order to halt the destruction of the rural landscape, we demand that:
1. Greensand Ridge and the Greensand Way are protected from development. That the access to and rural nature of the walk, and views across and from the Weald are maintained.
2. Any planning development is in keeping with the open countryside.
3. Any development at Wierton Place is in keeping with the scale, appearance and character of the grade 2 designation, involves the restoration of the Manor House and Greenhouse and is restricted to those buildings currently used as residential.
4. That Maidstone Borough Council co-ordinate with Kent County Council and other agencies to act swiftly to enforce established planning policies in dealing with all unlawful developments.
