This policy cannot work such is the scale of the development. So much woodland, farmland, wildlife will be destroyed that no amount of carbon sequestration or drainage systems can make up for the negative impact on the environment.

How will the Council ensure BNGs of 10%+ are met? What happens to developers if it isn’t? Nothing. What’s happened with the new housing estates at Hoo? Did they have to make assessments of BNG before and after each housing estate was built? How have they measured the 10% BNG for each new estate? Was a BNG of 10% or more demonstrated?
