Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Vision for Medway in 2041

Representation ID: 3405

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: Mrs Deborah Whybrow

Representation Summary:

Medway is a diverse land. The villages amongst the farmland, marshes and valued landscapes and habitats have a different QoL to the successful urban developments. Outside of Hoo it is impossible to meet all everyday needs without access to a car - and these villages accept this. We don’t have easy access to shops/organised leisure/takeaways/nightlife. We accept this and have natural open spaces, marshland and nature reserves to enjoy instead. We lack access to mains sewerage, fast broadband with frequent cuts in utilities. New development must have solar panels, fast broadband, mains sewerage and pavements for safe non car travel.

Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Spatial Development Strategy

Representation ID: 3410

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: Mrs Deborah Whybrow

Representation Summary:

Development across the Hoo peninsula will always increase car use on already busy single access routes due to lack of alternatives. Cliffe Woods/Cliffe have a single main access route. Hoo/chattenden/High Halstow/Allhallows/Stoke and Grain have a single main access route. If either is blocked for any reason thousands of people cannot move in or out.
HIF train station concept was abandoned. Upgrading 4 elms hill junctions was abandoned. Every autumn/winter 4 elms hill is partially closed for weeks due to inadequate sewerage system. There is no room for additional development across the Hoo Peninsula.
