I cannot understand the need to develop further on the green lung. With East Hill, Gibraltar Farm and potentially Lidsding, a total of 3550 new houses how will the lung continue to perform. It goes against the idea of limiting damage to biodiversity and despite the risk of flooding where is the water coming from? The Envirionment Agency estimates that without further building Medway will reach continuous drought conditions by 2050. What are the plans to prevent this? With climate change already happening very quickly I am worried about how this will impact the area
