Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 721

Respondent: Mr Alan Stockey

Representation Summary:

I would have expected to see some reference to energy transition how this is accounted for within the plan. By 2040, with no further backpedaling, there will need to be substantial infrastructure for electric buses and wider use of more affordable electric vehicles. To meet the challenges ahead it can’t just be more houses and more of the same. Where is the vision to accompany the new world we face and how will organisations like Southern Water step up to the implications of massive increase in housing. They need to be partners in this or it will be Brown Medway.
