Given that between them, the urban, suburban and rural areas have a capacity for 35,567 homes it should be that with a focus on sustainable locations that Medway Council should be able to find 19,000 homes (53% of the above capacity) within the Urban suburban and rural areas. There should therefore be no need to allocate housing within the areas designated Green Belt in the local plan. Therefore with respect to the Medway Local Plan we support the protection afforded the Green Belt in the NPPF.
