Overcoming the Challenges of Maidstone Council Approval

Maidstone Borough Council maintains rigorous standards to ensure that all public realm furniture respects the town’s heritage and provides long term durability for its residents. Navigating the requirements for 100% FSC sustainability, anti theft anchoring and public liability can be daunting for families. We bridge this gap by providing the council with a comprehensive trade data pack. This documentation confirms that our Grade A teak is engineered with our extra heavyweight 8 x 8cm profile, proving to the local authority that your memorial is a 25 year asset designed for public safety and aesthetic excellence.
