Chartham residents oppose plans for 170 homes in Kent village

Alison Jackson, who has lived in Chartham for 40 years, says nearly 1,000 people have signed their petition.

“Infrastructure in the village is not working as it should, so additional houses and cars are the issue,” she added.

Another campaigner, Hannah Downs, said: “There are also concerns about the services, such as the GP, within the village and their ability to support a significant number of extra houses.”
