Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Supporting people to lead healthy lives and strengthening our communities

Respondent: Mr Rupert Turpin
Housing is developer led and far too many flats are planned to the detriment of FAMILY LIFE- FAR MORE THAN SIMILAR AREAS. Some flats are marketed in the far east, rather than being local solutions.

Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Securing jobs and developing skills for a competitive economy

The plans to develop the Chatham docks will lead to a loss of many jobs- whatever the land owners say, and this is being done for profit
And against the skill set of Medway and its people. The innovation centre has cost millions and not produced a single job and is years behind the times. It has been a waste of public funds however the Kingsnorth site is a good idea and is industry led. The message seems to be to listen to those companies that are producing jobs and know what the market is avoid siren calls of developers

Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)
Boost pride in Medway through quality and resilient development

Develop Strood Waterfront, and also allow local people to access the historic dockyards which are kept behind a paywall. Do NOT allow Chatham docks to be turned into flats and therefore the jobs there can be saved. Listen to businesses and avoid the council’s over inflated and ego boosting trips to turn the towns into a city. Medway is a river first, local authority second ( only as short history) and should not become co-terminus with a city, as the boundaries of Medway are bound to be reorganised.

The development of housing in particular should be evidence based but we the local people have not been allowed to see the vital reports prepared by consultants into the transport strategy and the ecological assessment, amongst others. This is a scandal.
Developments should be spread evenly and fairly across Medway not concnetrated on the peninsula in what has clearly been a bad case of NIMBYism up to now. I am hoping for better

Clearly there is far too great a number proposed and the standard methodology is flawed. It does not take local considerations into account. Some areas such as Ashford and Maidstone to talk locally, are easily able to take far larger numbers of housing. Medway not so. Let the local authorities, the developers and the local people all have a say but the flawed methodology depends on the starting point in time and various assumptions and does not seem to take nuances such as geography, congestion and ecological concerns into consideration

Any evidence is for the “ late 30’s living with their parents” assertion?- good to have hard facts here. this is a free country, developers will sell to whoever they wish, be from abroad etc. there is no mechanism to give houses to local people for sale, banks have their own ideas on who to give a mortgage to.Not sire that targets which cannot be reached will help anyone much, but it would be good to see some housing built on NIMBY protected land which could , ironically would, have been protected by the last ( failed) local plan.

It would be vital to see transport sustainability assessment for the whole of Medway, not just the peninsula, and good to see the council abandon its plan to cram all development into the peninsula. It would also be good to see real protections on the ecology, butressed by the evidence so far hidden from us of the ecological sustainability assessments. Without new road infrastructure the officers stated clearly that only 1000 extra homes could be built on the peninsula, and we are some way along that road already, so we vitally need to know how infrastructure spending will precede development

Agreed, and Bluebell hill will need to be improved too. Both M2 and M20 are amongst the heaviest use and most frequently broken down in the country
