Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3875

Respondent: Miss Rachael Selleck

Representation Summary:

Infrastructure development in Medway is crucial and should be prioritised over new housing projects. Without a robust infrastructure—encompassing roads, public transport, utilities, and local amenities—new housing will only exacerbate existing issues like traffic congestion, inadequate services, and reduced quality of life. Investing in infrastructure will support sustainable growth, improve living conditions, and ensure that any new developments can be effectively integrated into the community. Prioritising infrastructure will provide a solid foundation for future housing and help address current problems, ultimately benefiting residents and fostering a more balanced, functional environment.
