Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 1647

Received: 31/10/2023

Respondent: Mr Matthew Nightingale

Representation Summary:

Considering existing unsustainable traffic levels in the towns and the climate emergency we are facing, there should be minimal focus on car-dependant urban sprawl. The preservation of green spaces within the town need to be safeguarded for the mental well being and health benefits. If farmland within Medway is not proving to be viable, the land could be planted to become urban woodlands and nature reserves to help offset the emissions building nearly 30,000 new homes and traffic will bring.
