The key pressure point on the Green Belt in the Medway Council lays to the west of Strood in the sector straddling the A289 and north of Gravesend Road and the B2108 and south of Dillywood lane . The borough boundary gives the false impression that this section of the Green Belt is a small remnant of the Green Belt. Whereas this small section of the Green Belt is the farthest eastern extent of the Metropolitan Green Belt and is an important part of the Green Belt as a whole. Allocating any of the land in his sector would undermine the function of the Green Belt in this critical western boundary of the Medway conurbation.
