Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Policy T2: Housing Mix
Representation ID: 3119
Received: 07/09/2024
Respondent: Snodland Town Council
Finally to describe the possible housing development as "part of a larger opportunity which includes land to the south within the Tonbridge and Malling administrative area. The larger opportunity could deliver an urban extension to Snodland providing up to 5000 new homes, new schools, community and commercial facilities as well as extensive green infrastructure. The uploaded prospectus describes both possibilities"
This would destroy our green belt and area of outstanding natural beauty up to the North Downs and double our size in town.
The Town Council strongly objects.
May I start by observing that your documentation is far from clear where residents and interested parties wish to make comments concerning specific issues.
The document does go into a lot of detail but is not easy to place comments which will confuse those wishing to comment.
Locking at the possible spacial options available in your document, then the third one would be Snodland Town Councils preferred option.
The councils comment on site ID CHR4 Form submission ID 253 are as follows:
This site was allocated for a possible new cement works at a public enquiry with the proviso that when the works were finished it reverted back to its previous usage.
If a minimum of 1000 new dwellings are built on this site then Snodland and Halling are being physically joined into one urban area.
