Respondent: Bredhurst Parish Council

Bredhurst Parish Council strongly objects to the preferred option SGO3 Blended Strategy, especially the proposed developments along the Capstone Valley which will adversely impact Bredhurst Village. This area which is predominantly farmland is described as the ‘best and most versatile’ land and therefore should not be built upon. These developments will not only urbanise the local countryside it will remove the important strategic gap between Medway and Maidstone. The increase in traffic will have a detrimental effect on the current local road network and through Bredhurst Village which is already used as a 'rat run' to both Maidstone and Rainham.
