Is this constraint part of the problem raised by using the Standard Method in assessing housing requirements?

The planning of the LTC is more realistic in its assessment growth than the Standard Method.

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.

Is Gravesham's request based on unrealistic housing need?

These figures appear to be far too high.

Surely we need far fewer houses to be built, nearer 4,000 than over 28,000.

Most of this work is unnecessary if Medway Council can successfully challenge the Government's estimates.

We need to avoid too many expensive new dwellings at the expense of local residents' needs.

Perhaps these are more useful for assessments in the next century.
