If these sites are not decontaminated (for development purposes) due to potential costs, is there a risk that any future flooding (which is apparently becoming more likely) may cause pollution problems, which would then negate the potential financial saving from leaving them contaminated?

This is a key point. Vast housing estates with few or no facilities certainly won’t encourage a healthy life style and a sustainable community.

Congestion along the A2 is horrendous when there’s an accident on the motorway; rush hour traffic is always very heavy. If they have to upgrade junction 4 to accommodate development in Capstone, experience suggests several years of congestion throughout Medway and additional pollution will occur.
Development on this scale in Capstone Valley could destroy Darland Banks as a nature reserve, home to rare orchids and wild life, since a narrow corridor between housing estates and bordered by a busy road will not sustain the variety of wild life currently to be found there.

I don’t think the developers’ plans show any evidence of the possibility of creating such a community. Where will people walk and cycle if Star Lane becomes a rat run and the lanes across the fields disappear? I doubt if many of the new residents will be willing to walk to Hempstead Valley and carry their shopping back.

This is the most likely outcome if development is based on landowners’ greed for profit rather than a consideration of people’s needs and the creation of a healthy social community.

Agreed. Linking the proposed Capstone and Lidsing residential developments into a suburban sprawl will damage a beautiful, natural local environment, add to traffic problems and pollution, increase the pressure on local services and is unlikely to create a thriving local community of the sort you envisage in the objectives of this local plan.
