Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Representation ID: 4063
Received: 08/09/2024
Respondent: Mr Ian Hargraves
Representation Summary:
The Green Belt is particularly narrow to the West of Medway and must be protected at all costs. Therefore, there must be a presumption against any development in this area especially where it lies within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Landscape. Any development that will spoil the existing views from the Kent Downs by being totally out of character or causing light pollution must not be permitted.
It should be noted that The Greenbelt is also very narrow between Cuxton and Gravesend and therefore must be maintained to ensure protection for the rural village of Cuxton.
