There is concern in the village that there is renewed planning interest in building on the land to the south of Elmsmead.
This would be a disaster for the people who live in Elmsmead because it is a narrow road with a lot of cars parked in the road an others on drives needing access to the road. People who live on Main Street who have no parking space or have visitors also parked on Elmsmead.
They would find life very difficult when construction traffic were accessing the site and new residents on the site were using Elmsmead. Drivers find driving out of Elmsmead hazardous because traffic on Main street is moving very fast and since the building work in Tenterden there is a lot more heavy traffic coming round the bend by the entrance to the village hall. There is an alternative site in the village, there is a brownfield site on the west side of Wittersham Road. Access is easy and hazard free because the road is straight, also the owner of the site is willing to sell.
