Paragraph 5.7 references highway network constraints, including those associated with the Strategic Road Network (SRN), particularly M2 Junction 1.
Richborough consider that the issues raised by National Highways do not preclude appropriately located and planned growth across the north of the borough, and support the prioritised action by Medway Council, working alongside neighbouring authorities and wider stakeholders, to deliver appropriate mitigation. Such mitigation being likely to include both physical infrastructure improvements, as well as ensuring that proposed allocations can facilitate a reduction in the need to travel by private car, in line with DfT Circular 01-2022.
