The claimed alignment with wider strategies (One Medway Council Plan, Health & Wellbeing Strategy, Climate Change Action Plan) is superficial; no clear policy mechanisms demonstrate how Local Plan allocations will deliver those strategies’ objectives. In some cases — e.g., large-scale development on best and most versatile farmland — proposed allocations actively conflict with stated climate, health, and environmental goals.

Accordingly, 1.3.2 overstates the Plan’s evidential robustness and strategic coherence, rendering this claim unsound.

While Council lists input from statutory bodies, residents, stakeholders, the Regulation 18 consultations reached fewer than 0.15% of the population and disproportionately reflected developer and landowner interests.
