A significant amount of rural land will be lost to housing. This is a permanent change which will have large consequences. Urban spread has to be a serious consideration. The Medway towns will join closer to Maidstone and will lose a vital wildlife corridor that runs from Darland Banks, through the Capstone Valley and out to the North Downs AONB. The extent of the proposed development from both Medway and Maidstone councils will inevitably cause significant harm to the rural economy.
