We fully support this statement (MPO official statement) and wish you every success. You make an important point about the negative impact of increase in traffic etc on the air quality in Maidstone if these 2000 houses are built. Especially in view of the recent huge developments built south of Park Wood, ​ Maidstone already has one of the highest levels of air pollution in the country.We are both in our 80s and can not offer practical help but appreciate your proposed efforts to protect this lovely old village from further large scale house building on farm land.
