Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 1844

Received: 22/07/2024

Respondent: Mrs Stella Tiller

Representation Summary:

Existing approvals for housing on greenfield such as East Hill and Gibraltar Farm in the Capstone Valley go totally against the policy of not allowing housing that will place an inappropriate strain on local and rural roads.
There is so little green space left in Medway south of the river. It’s all very well saying that only a certain percentage is urbanised, but most of that is concentrated in one area. And the non-urbanised percentage includes areas that are not even possible to develop such as marshland. This warps the figures in favour of more building on greenfield.
