Representation Summary:

The land was re-designated as grey belt without public consultation.
This development between Gravesham and Strood West will erode the green belt encouraging urban sprawl.
Local roads are regularly congested due to their proximity to motorways and major roads.
Strood already suffers from a lack of GPs surgeries and Medway Hospital, which also serves Swale, is under severe pressure, which has been highlighted by the CQC.
Medway suffers from a high number of people with respiratory disease further development will exacerbate this.
The impact on residents' mental and physical health will be profound, impacting further on the NHS.
