Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3771

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: Ms Mo Coughlan

Representation Summary:

While regeneration is excellent, side by side with that is the choice in all 3 plans to develop Capstone, this simply put, puts greater pressure on what is the green lung in Medway. Already according to Environment Agency Lordwood is at risk of flash flooding, how much greater will that be when half the lung is concretised? Already there are concerns about Luton Rd's risk due to East Hill, the fact that Gibraltar Farm and Capstone will add nearly 4000 houses means that all flood risks are greater. More financial impact on residents because of higher flood Risk Insurance!
