Will the Medway Planning Validation paperwork include reference to trigger levels. Housing <50 a Transport Statement and over 50 a Transport Assessment. Ditto B1 or B8 <1000 sqm TS and > 1000sqm a TA? A TS for every application is not reasonable.

Travel Plans after completion of the Development are never in the public domain. They should be otherwise they are less than sustainable.

People are forced to use their cars. Buses are readily cancelled and few and far between. A lot of people in Allhallows are manual workers which often entail shift work so public transport just doesn’t exist at the times needed. Also many have works vans which they drive home and block the roads with!

The Gibraltar Farm development is a classic example, it's on a narrow single lane. No way on earth will that work

Currently hoo peninsula area has no infrastructure that can sustain the current volume of traffic roads are not maintained and further out to local villages the worse it is.

A full and extensive transport assessments plan should be inforce not only to satisfy national highways but also
Satisfy the needs and aspirations of local communities.

I live in Allhallows, and we desperately need improved public transport. Better and more frequent bus services are essential, along with a reliable rail network to connect us efficiently. Increasing the number of local shops would reduce the need for long trips. A consistent and comprehensive transport service throughout Medway is crucial for easier travel. With only four buses a day at best, the current service is inadequate and makes getting around incredibly difficult.

Not sure how this can be achieved with existing policy levers - need significantly more local control over public transport provision and highways policy to be more forward thinking on cycling and walking provision. Needs to be a proper long term multi-modal strategy for road network. Local Transport Plan needs to be mandated to achieve aspirations set out in local plan

The cost implication of new travel routes must be considered to ensure that it is a viable option for most over the use of the car.
