The planned development in Allhallows on a floodplain is troubling, especially as environmental conditions worsen each year. This should not proceed. Previously, Medway Council built homes on dairy fields near my house, also on a floodplain, and burst a water main in the process. This main has been leaking constantly, collapsing the road, yet the council deemed it acceptable. The area also suffers from frequent water mains leaks. Blocking essential ditches with plants has worsened flooding, showing a lack of proper planning. Building on a floodplain again would only exacerbate these issues and increase environmental damage.
