Most of the land marked for Capstone Valley around Chatham are not suitable for housing and its unsuitability has been decided in previous planning applications. The Local Plan report also rightly pointed out there is a cross-border impact with Lidsing Garden Community. Capstone Valley is bio-diverse, including hatching over Hook Wood. No development should be permitted in these special areas. Capstone Valley is also an important green lung and development will affect air flow and circulation. Development will increase air pollution and inability to clean the air from areas like Luton Road.
