We support the Local Plan initiatives in regard to tackling climate change and enhancing sustainability.

Development at the site, at High Halstow, would create a cohesive, integrated and highly sustainable extension to the village.

Sustainability is a core consideration of the proposed development at the site and by achieving rigorous energy standards and employing technologies such as air source heat pump technology, the proposals respond directly to the Climate Emergency declared by Medway Council in April 2019.

Development at the site would seek to maintain and enhance ecological habitats, including the retention of existing tree / hedge lines along all the boundaries of the site, to deliver at least 20% biodiversity net gain.
