Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will request Maidstone Borough Council to require the applicant to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed development at Hazelpits Farm, Headcorn (Application Ref: 15/503325/Hybrid) prior to the determination by Maidstone Borough Council's planning committee planned for 9 July 2015.

My rt. hon. Friend, the Secretary of State is already considering this request.

The local authority has been informed of this request and it is a matter for them to decide how this should inform their planning decision making process, including the forthcoming committee.
