Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 393

Received: 03/10/2023

Respondent: Mr Stephen Dyke

Representation Summary:

Welcome the reference to securing a "robust green and blue infrastructure", though like all the other bullet points in this section I need to see what this means in practice. In particular how the proposed suburban expansion, rural development and green belt release will enhance this (as it suggests to me filling in green parts of the landscape). I also think the document underplays the negative effect of the Lower Thames Crossing (if it goes ahead) - there are negatives to this scheme from a 'green' perspective, not least for the areas around Strood and Frindsbury.
