Where there is uncertainty over the capacity of the highway network to meet development needs, the priority should be to make sustainable public transport, and healthy walking, wheeling and cycling options the most attractive and convenient choices.

Rail connections must be viewed as an essential part of future development on the Hoo Peninsula, together with improved bus connectivity between communities on the Peninsula and the mainline stations at Strood and Rochester.

Chatham Watefront Bus Station is not best placed to serve connections to the Hoo Peninusla, there should be consideration of a second bus station for Medway.
