I welcome the Reg 19 draft local plan in all aspects bar one. It is an excellent piece of work, put together by a dedicated team of highly professional council officers. The flaw in the plan is the naming of the Strood’s Greenbelt as a council approved Residential-led Site Allocation for a major housing development.

That flaw includes an error in the Residential-led Site Allocation numbers. It excludes the 130 residential dwellings at Commissioners Rd Pit, Strood. See my comments at the end below. There may well be other such errors. The plan’s Site Allocation (residential-led) requires a full review.
