Completely agree with this statement. The greenbelt should be protected and other land should be used. Especially when Medway doesn't have much greenbelt to begin with.

The protection of areas already designated as Green Belt is vital. Section 4 of the public consultation document indicates the Greenbelt Area and Greenbelt Sites. Section 5.50 reinforces the need to protect these areas from development
Part of one of the Greenbelt sites is in Bush Valley. This area was included as part of a Public Inquiry, relating to possible development,
which was held in Rochester in March this year . The Planning Inspectors decision, was that the proposed development should not be permitted. Much of the evidence related to the designations of Greenbelt and AONB which apply there

If this land is built on it would be a disgrace and against our environmental commitment to future generations.

Just because our green fields and areas are not Green Belt, they should still be defended from over-development.

Some of the National Planning Policy Framework is better than others. This one actually makes good sense.

The Green Belt is there for a purpose and no part of it must be released for development.

Maintaining the greenbelt area is key. It is why many people choose to live in Medway and it is a valuable asset which could lend itself to more sustainable tourism options (but not processing plants ot informatuin sites for vineyards.
Encourage residents to learn more about their surroundings, the history or the local area and how we have lived symbiotically with the natural environment.
