Respondent: Mrs Sue Harwood
It is difficult to see how Medway can improve air quality and freedom of movement if the Capstone Valley isn't protected.

Prepared for a sustainable and green future

Building all over the green fields around Capstone Country Park is not going to help the climate emergency. Greenfield sites should be saved. This area flows into the important National Landscape (formerly AONB) around Bredhurst and will adversely affect it as will increased footfall in this area and Capstone Park.
This will also adversely affect air quality. This was supposed to be a 'green lung' for this part of Medway not a concrete jungle with increased traffic.

Overloading the Capstone country park with excessive building in the area, will not encourage, enable or promote activities for physical health and mental wellbeing.

It is difficult to see how the green network can be supported when you are isolating Capstone Country Park by surrounding it with housing and development. This can hardly provide resilience for nature; it will destroy the natural habitat. This will also not improve mental health.

3.2.1

It is admirable that brownfield sites are included as it is important that these are repurposed to meet housing need. However, it is devastating to see that multiple greenfield sites surrounding Lordswood and Hempstead are being proposed. This will have an unacceptable impact on the natural environment, air quality and mental wellbeing of residents. If the North Dane Way is further extended to meet with the M2J4, it will have a huge impact on the residents who live along this road with additional noise and pollution. The road is likely to become an accident hotspot.

In the last 10 years, properties at the bottom end of North Dane Way into Luton have flooded on at least 2 occasions. Building thousands more houses along this area will only increase the likelihood of further flooding.

It is difficult to see how Medway is preserving the natural environment by building in greenfield sites through the Capstone Valley.

If Capstone Valley 'brings an accessible rural landscape into the heart of Gillingham and Chatham' then how can you justify building over all of the Capstone Valley, except for the Country Park. This will no longer be a rural landscape.

If Capstone Valley is important as a connecting landscape, then surely it cannot be built on.
