Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Prepared for a sustainable and green future
Representation ID: 2156
Received: 02/09/2024
Respondent: Mr Mark Harris
My concern with this plan is the damage to the environment.
The proposed areas for development result in isolation of Capstone Valley green corridor. This area includes ancient woodland and important habitats, whilst also providing vital outdoor space for our people. Surrounding natural habitats isolates flora and fauna populations resulting in an inevitable decline in their health an viability.
We need houses, but we also need to protect high quality green space. This plan fails to protect the latter and is far too tolerant of developers preference to build unaffordable housing, which will also not solve our housing crisis.
