Permission in Principle Secured in the Metropolitan Green Belt

Bloomfields is pleased to confirm that Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council have granted Permission in Principle for the sub‑division of an existing residential curtilage and the potential development of up to three dwellings.

The decision demonstrates how the Permission in Principle process can provide an effective and proportionate route to establish the acceptability of small‑scale residential development, even within countryside locations designated as Metropolitan Green Belt.

The Council accepted that the proposal met the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017 and relevant Green Belt considerations. The approval provides a clear framework for progression to the Technical Details Consent stage.
