Representation Summary:
Both the identified green belt potential development sites of adjacent to Upper Bush and at the Snodland/Halling border should be dropped. The Upper Bush nearby site is an area of absolute beauty and once lost cannot ever be regained. There is no logic to the proposed development there and consequent interference with the AONB. Both that site and the Snodland/Halling border are accessed via the A228 section running from the M2 junction to Peters Bridge. This road infrastructure is already over capacity as witness the frequent traffic jams and consequent rat-running through Halling and would not cope with more housing.
