Medway politicians at Committee have been reactive to development over the years. The housing numbers have revealed this to be the case. Officers recommendations have been thwarted many times at Committee only for Planning Inspectors to overturn objections and have given costs against Medway. A mentoring regime for new Members is required. The Government will change like the wind. However local plan policies needed to get it right in the first instance. Young families need homes.
