Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 1697

Received: 31/10/2023

Respondent: Mr Fred Skipsey

Representation Summary:

Congestion along the A2 is horrendous when there’s an accident on the motorway; rush hour traffic is always very heavy. If they have to upgrade junction 4 to accommodate development in Capstone, experience suggests several years of congestion throughout Medway and additional pollution will occur.

Development on this scale in Capstone Valley could destroy Darland Banks as a nature reserve, home to rare orchids and wild life, since a narrow corridor between housing estates and bordered by a busy road will not sustain the variety of wild life currently to be found there.
