NO Pedham New Town
We did it
On 1st February 2024 we successfully raised £3,415 with 135 supporters in 42 days

The aim of this project is to raise funds to oppose the development of Pedham Place into a rugby stadium and 2500 or more houses.

WE ARE NOW OVER TARGET (WITH CASH & CHEQUE DONATIONS) AND ANY FURTHER DONATIONS WILL BE COLLECTED FOR FUTURE TO PROGRESS THIS INITIATIVE, IF YOU WISH TO.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS.

The Sevenoaks 2040 plan consultation has invited some strong opposition from local residents in Crockenhill, Eynsford, Farningham, South Darenth, Horton Kirby, Swanley and West Kingsdown, who are all working hard to raise funds.  

Other villages are also welcome to contribute and benefit from this report and do contact us if you wish to get involved.  This page is to raise funds to help oppose the plan for the Pedham Place housing and rugby stadium with a report generated by a top professional planning consultant that will highlight the legal ability to contest this at consultation phase.  

Whilst it was not an agenda item, an expert report was encouraged to be commissioned by some members of the Eynsford Parish Council and those attending at the meeting on 21st December 2023 and will be prepared costing £2750+VAT and the remaining funds will pay for the fees of this crowdfunding page, which are charges of 2.4% + £20 for transfers to a bank account. 

We are in the process of setting up a bank account and do contact if you wish to make a donation directly instead of pay the additional 2.4% fees. 

Larger donations are, of course, welcome and if all residents put in £5 each, we should achieve this target instantly.  

Please note, the tip will go to Crowdfunder, not the initiative so please do adjust that accordingly rather than leave it at default, unless you wish to pay the tip to the Crowdfunder organisation.

Any funds in addition to the target we're aiming for will be used for future mailouts/leaflets and any other business we need to conduct in the interests of the initiative, including more legal advice, if required.  Should there be a surplus after that, we will donate the remainder shared between local charities and Cancer Research UK.

Thank you in advance.
