The council said on Friday that it was aware of the planned protest and it had "revised operational deployment plans" as a result.

But in April, the developers submitted an outline planning application to Dartford Borough Council for up to 400 homes.One objecting villager wrote: "Greenhithe used to be a lovely little village, now it's become as busy as central London, it seems every little piece of land you can possibly build on, it's built on."

The waste site sits next to Knockhall Chase and Mounts Road and has been left empty since the mid-1990s.The developers said homes had been earmarked on the site for years."The site has been consistently promoted for residential development of between 300 and 500 homes since 2007," they said.

Of the homes proposed, 35% – or 140 of the 400 – are set to be marketed as affordable housing, thePlanning documents submitted by the developers read: "The development would utilise previously developed land to create a modest and contained extension within Greenhithe to accommodate the borough's growing housing needs."

The plans have received written objections from 18 residents.

One villager wrote: "Yes we need more houses, but this area is swamped already."This process has been going on for months now if not longer," he added.

Meanwhile, Sinn Féin senior politician Pearse Doherty said the Lynskey family had "gone through a terrible injustice".He said he hoped the remains are found of all the Disappeared.

Doherty called on anyone with information to come forward and give these families the right "that they should always have had, which is to bury their loved ones".Posting on X, formerly Twitter, the WAVE Trauma Centre said their thoughts were with the Lynskey family as "they face a long wait".
