The plan claims to create a wider network of green and blue infrastructure across Medway to connect countryside, parks, and open spaces, but how can it achieve this when you’re removing these spaces? The Council also promises to improve environmental amenity, deliver Biodiversity Net Gain, and enhance air quality. However, in my village, the sewage system has been beyond capacity for decades, causing a persistent stench of sewage that has lingered for nearly 21 years. Adding more houses will only worsen air quality. Additionally, developing fields that host badgers, foxes, and hares drastically contradicts efforts to support biodiversity.
