Skills and Workforce Link. Policy T4 is silent on ensuring that specialist housing developments contribute to local workforce training in care, nursing, and support services — despite clear skills shortages in these sectors within Medway. This is a missed opportunity.
Not positively prepared – Omits clear links to objective, up-to-date needs data (JSNA, Kent & Medway Care Needs Assessment)

Not effective – Lacks measurable locational/accessibility standards and design enforcement mechanisms.

Not consistent with national policy – Risks approving poorly located or inadequately designed developments, contrary to NPPF paras. 92(b), 93, and 130.
