I support this, as Hoo area is a better area to extend the Medway towns, and it is closer to London for those who wish to commute.
Whilst I lament the loss of countryside, the countryside here is flat and has little character compared to the hilly areas of Medway. It makes more sense to build on this flat, dull land.
