New searchHoo is within a nationally and internally recognised environmentally sensitive area. It is a unique part of Medway and as such should be protected. Not built over so it becomes the same as the rest of Medway. As it days in the consultation document, the rural character of the peninsula is valued by its residents. Also having a vision for an area is very different to what can actually be delivered. I would like to see predictions of what money will be available to deliver this "vision" and when all of these facilities will come to be.
I would agree with the key principles, but do not think that this vision delivers on that. By building on Deangate Ridge, you create yet another split community, like Chattenden that is split by the Peninsula Way. Without knowing if the HIF is going to be delivered then we cannot know if the community will be sustainable or accessible.
Much for the same reasons as Q1. This is not just Hoo, but the Peninsula as a whole. Development on this scale will completely change that area and no doubt led to further development in more years to come. We need to be able to feed our own communities, and by taking away farmland will have a negative impact on that, leading to imports, which in turn is not environmentally suitable for the whole of the planet. What work has been done with other small villages on the peninsula to see if they would like some very small scale development to help their existing facilities remain sustainable and ensure their primary schools remain open.
Unhappy that the proposed railway station will not take trains directly into Strood, into Medway. If we are talking about neighbourhoods we should be making those neighbourhoods easy to travel between.
I am surprised at this being the last question. the questions being asked with this consultation are very disappointing and do not reflect what has been said about this consultation as a whole. We are expecting to hear what residents think about what has been proposed with this HDF but there are no in depth questions, just very vague questions about the vision. Why not ask "What do you think about the proposed location of the Leisure Centre?" "What do you think should be included within the Leisure Centre?" "What retail would you like to see?" "What additional health facilities do you think are needed on the peninsula?" Do you think you are currently be serviced well? So many detailed questions that could have been asked. I will be very surprised if this consultation manages to capture the views of resident of the Peninsula.
