Respondent: Miss Natalie Dowling

Representation Summary:

The building on brownfield sites makes perfect sense with the need for more accommodations. However building on any farmland/green spaces must be considered unnecessary. There is already health condition with pollution and this with greatly increase with traffic pollution. With climate change happing we are already seeing increased flood risk without additional farm land loss and concrete areas. The areas of lordswood and rainham being built in will certainly increase this risk putting more pressure on road and risking people's homes. Damage to the environment will not be repaired and makes Medway an in reading unpleasant area to live.
