Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

5.6

Representation ID: 1069

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

The Council is doing six times more work than is necessary due to inflated Standard Method housing needs assessments. This is diverting resources away from much needed Council services and wasting rate payers’ money.

Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

5.9

Representation ID: 1071

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

The planning of the Lower Thames Crossing is more realistic in its assessment of development growth. The Volume House Builders only consideration is to maximise profit. They will not build out the ‘false housing need’ allocated sites until the inward migration market is favourable. This will lead to planning blight and, negative impacts on the local economy and food supply.

Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

5.10

Representation ID: 1072

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

Serious consideration needs 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.

Representation ID: 1073

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

Gravesham, like Medway, will be compelled to adopt unrealistic Housing targets. A local housing needs assessment for Gravesham will prove that a more realistic target is actually needed for a Borough that is currently less densely populated than Medway.

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

This seems to be adding insult to injury to the residents of Medway especially those in most need of a safe comfortable dwelling. Medway needs 4,278 new dwellings to satisfy natural growth, of these, 1,200 must be for social rent (Council Houses) See Local Housing Needs Assessment 2021.

Representation ID: 1076

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

Medway only needs 4,278 dwellings between now and 2040. Unfortunately, much of the Housing in the pipeline won’t be intended to meet local housing need, and Medway Council will be seen to be in the pockets of the Volume House Builders.

Received: 30/10/2023

Respondent: Medway Green Party

Representation Summary:

Current housing development appears to be targeted at wealthy inward migration and this seems set to continue at the expense of local residents and local democracy. Please note sub-standard, poorly designed houses at Cliffe Woods selling for £800,000.
