Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3663

Respondent: Miss Rachael Selleck

Representation Summary:

The Council’s pledge to promote the conservation, restoration, and enhancement of priority habitats and species is contradicted by the plan to build in Allhallows. The proposed development will destroy habitats critical to foxes, hares, badgers, and birds of prey. Despite the Council's vision to conserve and strengthen Medway's wildlife sites and nature networks, this plan undermines those goals. Building on green spaces, rather than using brownfield sites, does not align with your goal of conservation and enhancement of the natural environment. How can you claim to value the natural environment while simultaneously planning to destroy vital habitats and green spaces?
