The Loose Neighbourhood Plan was "made" in 2019. 

The third in the Maidstone area.

​

It stands alongside National and Maidstone Borough Council planning documents in determining planning applications in Loose.  It was prepared from views put forward and supported by the community of Loose.

​

Its three main policy areas are:-

• Access and Movement

• Landscape Protection

• Design Quality

​

It identifies important views and local green spaces. Potential future projects e.g. improvements around the Village Green the A229, the King George V Playing Field and Pavilion are also highlighted.  It cannot stop housing development but with shape and influence it.

​

The plan will increase the percentage of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) the Parish Council will receive from new development i.e. from 15% to 25%. The CIL is a financial levy developers have to pay to MBC based on the plan area of dwellings built.
