About Marden village
Marden is a small, historic rural community in the Kentish Low Weald, with a long and interesting history. Find out more about our village and how to protect it.
Why It Matters
This development, if it goes ahead, WILL place massive pressure on infrastructure, create congestion, result in even more air pollution and impact railway services, sewerage & other utilities. Our roads are already clogged: 8-10,000 more car journeys a day would have a significant negative impact on the health and well-being of residents as well as other villages & towns nearby.
The village accepts that a certain amount of development must happen, evidenced by the construction of over 500 new houses since 2015. However, a plan on this massive scale is inappropriate for an historic village like Marden. It will become a new town, and will lose its special character forever.
