The area around Hempstead is under particular threat from Maidstone Borough Council's plans to build a garden village at Lidsing. It would be grossly damaging to the quality of the lives of residents of Hempstead and to a lesser extent Wigmore if Medway Council approved more housebuilding in Capstone.

Loss of important green lungs to residents in surrounding areas and It is unclear how the road infrastructure is going to be developed to handle the huge increase in vehicle movements in the direction of Hempstead and Wigmore (via Bredhurst) and to Boxley and Maidstone.
