Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Respondent: Mr Andrew Warrilow
Representation Summary:
Transport infrastructure isn't just a key consideration - it should be one of the main considerations. Historically this has been extremely poorly managed and is grossly inadequate even for the existing population of Medway. An opportunity exists to improve this, but it has to be developed and introduced at the same time as any new development. Historically, we have seen significant high density new building within Medway, particularly the centre of Rochester, with no additional transport infrastructure, which has significantly increased traffic, congestion and, no doubt, pollution.
