Proposed Hendy Motor Village – on Tesco site, Pembury Road

The deadline for comments has been extended! TWBC will be determining the application at one of their planning committee meetings.  We still do not know the date of the meeting but TWBC will accept comments up to this date.  Once we have received notice of the meeting we will share the date!

Please let TWBC know your views about the application and the impact it will have on Pembury!

Hendy’s have submitted a planning application for 7 car dealerships on land adjacent to the Tesco site in Pembury.  Access will be shared with Tesco traffic.

The application to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council can be viewed on their website by clicking here.  Search for planning application number 19/00884/FULL. Or email planning@tunbridgewells.gov.uk

Please let TWBC know your views about the application!

The Parish Council have considered the planning application and OBJECT to the proposal on the following grounds:

  • Increased congestion on the A264, A21 and Pembury High Street which already suffer from substantial congestion problems
  • Increased rat running in Cornford Lane and Halls Hole Road
  • Loss of parking at the Tesco site
  • Likely parking overspill into Pembury village
  • The development is more suited to North Farm Industrial Estate

The Parish Council’s full response can be downloaded here.

Floral Display in Lower Green Rec

We have introduced some new floral baskets on the fence to the playground at Lower Green Rec in a joint initiative between Pembury Parish Council, the Pembury Community Coffee Shop and Pembury Primary School Gardening Club – we hope you like them?  We plan to expand the number of planters in future if it proves successful.

Dog Fouling

The majority of dog owners clear up after their dogs and put the bags in the dog waste bins provided.  However, there is a minority of people who do not act responsibly!

Please clean up after your dog!
