Campaigners are heading to Westminster later calling on the Government to review plans to build thousands of homes in a Kent village.

Developers want to create a 'garden community' in Marden, which'll also include two new schools, health facilities and office space.

The Marden Planning Opposition Group held a protest in May and are now taking their petition - signed by almost 3-thousand people - to Downing Street.

Claudine Russell is the chairman and says the proposals go against national guidelines.
