Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Representation ID: 506
Received: 19/10/2023
Respondent: Mr Keith Swaden
Representation Summary:
Downsizing is a real issue if you want to remain in Medway. Many older people looking to downsize would choose a bungalow if available. However, how many of the proposed new homes would be bungalows? My guess this would be fairly close to zero as they do not make good profits for the developers who just want to pack as many houses on a development to increase profitability. Apartments/ flats are not an equivalent for many people, especially if you have always lived in a house.
