On November 7, 2024, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government called in two planning applications for a development commonly known as Highsted Park, near Sittingbourne. These applications were submitted by Quinn Estates Kent Ltd, GH Dean & Co Ltd, Atwood Farms Ltd, Atwood Trustees and AG Kent Holding BV. This means the decision on whether to approve or refuse these applications will now be made by the Secretary of State following a public inquiry.
