Representation ID: 936
Received: 29/10/2023
Respondent: Ward Councillor Peninsula ward
Representation Summary:
The whole consultation documents are lacking in detail, its unclear how firstly your vision and then the spatial strategy can coexist, a vision dealing with climate change protecting the countryside and coastline taking note of the estuaries as valued habitats enhancing its distinct character. Whilst your spatial strategy seeks to completely destroy the rural environment of the Hoo Peninsula, the loss of agricultural land, the destruction of its history heritage and landscapes.
This head long rush to urbanise rural communities to take away there distinctive identities contrary to NPPF 2023 chapter five and chapter 11 paragraph 120
