The electricity supply is constantly failing and we are subjected to lengthy power cuts, also we have had water delivered to our houses when the mains have failed. Indeed a line came down last year in my horses field and the village had no electricity for a day.

As part of your approach to planning in general, can you not insist on a level of green energy built into a development (be it commercial or homes)? Solar panels on roof structures/car parks for example.

Renewables will not sustain the energy requirements of residents; investigate new options.

Clearly state renewable development includes wind farms, isolated wind turbines and solar farms.

On the Hoo Peninsula, any wind development away from industrial Grain/Kingsnorth would probably have an adverse landscape/visual impact on the area's wide open aspect.

Solar farms should not entail loss of productive farmland or valuable natural habitat.

Impossible to offer detailed comments when so little information is given. Just because Kingsnorth and the Isle of Grain offered energy solutions in the past does not mean they are suitable for future energy development. Wider concerns include the effect on the landscape especially SSIs, access to sites using existing very limited infrastructure and how the local area may benefit from the development.

I can see the need for renewable energy but it must be a assessment of cumulative landscape and visual impacts.to make sure what we go ahead with does not have a detrimental effect on the environment.

The council should stipulate that all new builds require to include integral solar panel or wind energy production. It should not be beyond the realms of developers to install solar panels on roofs nor wind power on new developments. They will probably say it is economically unviable to do do but that just means it will eat into their profits.

I live in Allhallows and fully support the idea of renewable and low carbon energy development in Kingsnorth and the Isle of Grain, as long as any potential adverse impacts, including cumulative landscape and visual impacts, are effectively managed. This could also help address the frequent power cuts we experience. However, it's crucial that any necessary work is carried out with minimal disruption, ensuring that residents are not left without power for extended periods. Proper planning and execution are key to achieving these goals.
