Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Representation ID: 1737
Received: 31/10/2023
Respondent: Mr Trevor East
Representation Summary:
Any development should consider what additional infrastructure is required, including GP surgeries, schools, public transport access and shops. Too many new developments have none of these and residents become car dependent, in turn negating the possibility for Medway's green future.
We should also take pride in the greenspace we have as opposed to wanting to build on it. If a developer is waiting to make a profit on a brownfield site, can we fine them or purchase the land in turn either developing the site or using it for other "green" initiatives or sports sites.
