Just because these suburban sites are easier and cheaper to develop is not an excuse for prioritising them. In fact what these proposed suburban and rural developments will do is the opposite of the plans stated aim of Medway benefiting from being a network of centres that reflect the distinct character of its different towns, neighbourhoods and villages. There will be no gaps between neighbourhoods, just a sprawling urban development spreading out from Chatham to Medway's borders. The possible exception to this is the Isle of Grain but this potentially will just be an urban sprawl emanating from Hoo.
