At a time when food costs are going up and we are trying to get "greener" to save our planet it seems totally illogical to build on the best arable land in Medway, most of which is already being farmed. It has taken centuries to get the alluvial silt to be the good growing land it currently is. Why build on eco friendly growing fields and build roads that will actually contaminate not only the people but the crops.Let us stay"green" producing food and build on place es not producing good crop yields. Your own diagrams/maps show that this area is used agricultural land with has melded with some industry and still preserves much wildlife you have shown no way to better this

Do not build on prime agricultural land that has taken centuries to develop from alluvial silt until we are able to feed our country with little in imported food. Not only the land lends itself to growing food but so does out micro climate People can live in many places but food does not grow so prolifically everywhere

Strongly disagree

Sensitive to the environment is not building on prime alluvial silt matured over centuries in a perfect microclimate for food growing People do not need to live on the Hoo St Werburgh Peninsula. Be green for our planet save food transport costs and environmental costs for transporting food. Save our heritage. People need to live near hospitals, shops and transport not on an agricultural amazing space, which they have no interest in

No development no transport infrastructure needed. No lights needed in the countryside. All people living here moved knowing what countryside was like. We do need arable land used for food, to use our facilities of microclimate caused by two salt water rivers and alluvial silt for good growing well. We can't make these things again so think of the bigger picture and the planet, advertise how "green" the Hoo St Werburgh peninsula is and what it is doing for our country.

Why would you think initially of building on prime agricultural land? Why would you waste resources on damaging centuries of prime alluvial silt now tailored to the Peninsula ? Why would you not take note of our micro climate, prime for crop growth? Why would you want to pollute the area? Why would you want to increase our countries "food miles" to feed our country? Where would you build new hospitals? No houses no pollution no transport infra structure needed a green space with crops. You are treating our peninsula as others are treating the rain forests, why?
