An unspoilt area of the countryside north of Canterbury is under threat from a proposal to build 2000 houses. The land belongs to the University of Kent and their proposal was included in Canterbury City Council’s Draft Local Plan in 2024. Thanks in part to a petition on Change.org, which got over 25,000 signatures, the proposal was then removed from the plan by Canterbury City Council. However, the University is determined to press ahead with selling the land for development. Save The Blean Group are appealing for your help to persuade the University to change its mind and stop this threat of irreversible damage to the local environment, cultural heritage and wildlife.
