Representation Summary:

WRT SA10
The Plan consultation summary confirms the Medway City Estate (MCE) suffers from traffic congestion and hazardous on street parking. How are we to trust the transport plans produced by the council. The previous UK level appeal for Pump Lane development (point 29) received ‘competing appraisals’ from the two parties. They preferred the Councils Medway Aimsun Model (Point 29 [2]) vs a junction modelling approach from the appellant. No mention is now made of Aimsun software in the strategic transport assessment for regulation 19 perhaps because it doesn’t support the new plan especially wrt SA10?
