In my opinion, this is the wrong approach. There are a large number of large brownfield sites within Medway that must be preferentially utilised for housing first. A large number of these are in urban and suburban locations and therefore will be better served by existing infrastructure,

Expanding housing in small rural locations will place unsustainable pressure on services including water, drainage and roads as well as public transport, doctors and schools.

Medway Council does not have the funds to adequately provide the required services.

It is not acceptable to utilise greenfield sites while there are brownfield sites available.
