Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

How will City status for Medway help the poorest residents who are struggling to feed themselves and their children? How will it help the homeless and all those residents of Medway that are least able to help themselves? The ambition of having a City of Medway appears as an expensive vanity project, and distraction from the real task in hand, which is to focus on people. The very notion of establishing Medway as a city undermines the distinct character and unique history of the towns and villages that presently make up the Unitary Authority of Medway.

Prepared for a sustainable and green future

The future is green or there is no future. The standard of recent developments in Medway do not reflect the declaration of a Climate Emergency. The administration has a backlog of sub-standard buildings needing retro-fitting even before they are completed.

Medway needs carbon negative dwellings with zero energy costs for its residents. Medway needs to stop suburban sprawl and create compact urban developments. Less carbon, more green spaces, pedestrian focus and thriving urban neighbourhood communities, saving money on fuel for heating and travelling

There are numerous opportunities for Medway to develop green technologies and innovations working closely with the Universities. The developments in Medway must reflect the ambition to achieve ever greener technologies that will make the dwellings of Medway residents more comfortable and affordable.

This can only be achieved if Medway focuses on the developments it needs for natural growth, rather than allowing itself to be forced to follow the Volume House Builders’ Agenda. The new Council leaders must stand up for Medway as a Special Case when it comes to housing needs as it is already far more densely populated than any of its neighbouring authorities.

Far more land requires protection for environmental and agricultural reasons than the current exaggerated housing allocations allow for. If the current plans for developing Medway's precious green areas go ahead, Medway Council will have failed in its role as custodian of several irreplaceable national treasures.

The local plan must determine what the actual needs of our growing and changing communities are, as the basis for future sustainable development and make a distinction between local need and pressures for inward migration.

The Standard Method is part of the Volume House Builders Agenda to have extensive areas of land allocated for Housing, thus reducing land values while they cherry-pick sites for their sub-standard, inappropriate, expensive developments.

Medway needs 4,278 dwellings, including 1,200 Council Houses to satisfy natural growth (see Local Housing Needs Assessment 2021). The Standard Method results in six times actual need. No professional advisor or planner can condone or be complicit to such patent manipulation of the housing market solely to maximise the profits of the Volume House Builders. Consequent on the giveaway sale of Council Houses we are faced with limited local authority finances and a Housing Crisis for those most in need, Medway must focus on its residents that are most in need and ignore Government policies driven by greed and corruption.

Medway for historical reasons is much more densely populated than its neighbouring authorities and consequently even in Standard Method terms is a ‘special case’. For example, in 2021 Medway had 1,454 people / sq. kilometre and Maidstone Borough Council had 395 people / sq. kilometre. The Council must stand up for the actual needs of its residents.
