Please see my comments relating to the Vision and the importance of the Darland and Capstone areas as a green corridor.
The areas to be considered for redevelopment are not very clear from the map but when considered together with development at Lidsing( Maidstone Local Plan) appear to include virtually every existing open space apart from the Country Park itself. The starting point for any development in this area must be a landscape and biodiversity lead approach that respects the importance of this vital green corridor and avoids the coalescence of the areas of Lordswood and Hempstead.
