Until this point we should not be keen to change designations of countryside to enable building.

The Landscape Character Assessment Update of the Kent Downs AONB (2020) and AONB Management Plan could form part of the evidence base. For any potential allocations impacting on the AONB and its setting, a Landscape Sensitivity and Capacity Assessment would be helpful.

What will the council do if targets are advisory? Will they reduce targets to reflect ACTUAL need? Also, its imperative to have conversations with National Labour Party to be prepared for any changes they may make if they get power within the next year.

The population of Medway is much more dense than neighbouring authorities and it is important to only consider the actual needs of local residents.

The Local Plan needs to move forward (2003 is just not equitable) and need not wait for Government perambulations.

Medway for historical reasons is much more densely populated than its neighbouring authorities and consequently even in Standard Method terms is a ‘special case’. For example, in 2021 Medway had 1,454 people / sq. kilometre and Maidstone Borough Council had 395 people / sq. kilometre. The Council must stand up for the actual needs of its residents.

I hope that Medway doesn't delay implementing a Local plan for the sake of waiting on an NPPF update that was only promised by the PM to calm down back bench MPs. Medway deserves a Local Plan ASAP to control housing that gets approved BECAUSE Medway doesn't have a Local Plan.
