During their regular monthly meeting at TDC on Wednesday evening (20th Jan), members of the cross party Planning committee were told that 600 homes proposed for Eurokent Business Park at Westwood through the Local Development Core Strategy were completely unnecessary.
After a brief presentation by a TDC Officer on the core strategy the only comment made came from Labour member Cllr. Alan Poole who explained:
"The Government require Thanet District Council to build 7500 homes in the 25 years to 2026. TDC are currently well ahead of the new build target having already completed 1983 and have granted planning permission for a further 4624. This makes a total of 6607 from the target of 7500 and 16 years still to go".
Confirming the Labour Group position Cllr. Poole said:
“We do not see the necessity for building a further 600 homes on what is dedicated employment land at EuroKent".
