Green Belt land to the west of Strood which provides air quality mitigation and acts as a break between existing residential development and the A289 bypass is currently considered to have poor air quality but the draft local plan would allow development of large scale housing on this site. Significant increases and traffic and traffic congestion will be generated by large scale development on current Green Belt land. The approach to developments on Green Bet Land is not consistent with paragraph 4.10.1.
