and yet many of your proposals especially on the Hoo Peninsula ignore the environmental impact. This is ironic at best.

Mitigation of increased traffic should include protection of green belt land to provide a buffer for air pollution. The LTC says they dont need to account for air quality because cars will be moving to electric vehicles but as government have delayed this, this is a serious concern.

All green belt areas, AONB, ancient woodland and protected landscapes should not be considered for development. Once they are built on they are lost to future generations for ever.

It is unlikely that potential impacts on designated landscapes such as the AONB could be mitigated through the delivery of new services.

How does delivering a new service mitigate the damage to the environment?

Please avoid diluting or undermining protected landscapes and sites. The AONB, countryside and waterways are assets of importance for well being, sense of place, and key to securing investment. Don’t trash these in the rush to secure targets or from brown nosing billionaires.

Has serious consideration been given to be given to on-going sea level rise and its impact on designated habitats and landscapes over a much longer period than the Local Plan, measured and modelled over centuries rather than decades, and more in keeping with the useful life expectancy of buildings. A large part of Medway forms part of the London flood plain and is considered expendable by higher authority.

As a resident we trust you to safeguard and look after those key areas of heritage, historical and environmental areas.

The Government NPPF changes and nil impact, bird boxes, hedgehog runs, trees, will force volume builders to provide mitigation.

Perhaps not just further but very serious and longer term consideration.
It seems we are part of the London Flood Plan an less of a concern than other areas.

The ability to deliver significant levels of residential development sustainably alongside ecological designations will need to be evidenced. Richborough is of the view that the second stage of the Land Availability Assessment (LAA) will need to assess how the residential development of each site can viably protect against the erosion of these features and Medway Council should look to develop a site selection methodology which prioritises sites which minimise impact on these key ecological designations.

The Hoo peninsula is a vital habitat for migrating birds etc. Roads, with their constant noise, and people in homes ( maybe with cats) threaten these habitats, which, as known to Dickens, were in their way isolated and desolate and which have become havens for wildlife away from people. Britain is a degraded habitat, especially England, and we need to protect those we have left.
