New searchWhy is all this development being placed in I relatively small and concentrated area. There has been a lot of development already with more in progress in the Hoo area and I feel the required housing should be distributed over a larger area throughout Medway. Hoo would be loosing more good agricultural land which is a major concern when we are trying to reduce food imports and the increase sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint.
One of the major reasons we moved to Hoo was the truly country appearance with all the green areas and the view we get of the river from our home. The landscape for us will dramatically change with fields and the river changed to housing! I can’t understand how Medway council have closed Deangate ridge, a golf course in a beautiful surrounding with the ability to offer meals to both golfers and non golfers. With no other golf general course in the immediate area now Gravesend has closed along with the popular restaurant’The Windmill’, it may be worth considering reopening. The main infrastructure is already there and with a few change’s to maybe allow for the general public to also walk and enjoy the views it could be a great success. To now consider building on this site confirms all the talk saying Medway closed it to develop houses. The new railway station is the only benefit to the area which I was told is being applied for separately.
The new railway station is the only benefit to the area which I was told is being applied for separately. I have moved from Essex and worked in Canvey. When there is too much development it can become dangerous as the increase in population leads to a increase in traffic and more bottle necks. This then has an increase of pollution which has already been highlighted, showing around the Wainscot roundabout. A new supermarket would be useful, but it is not essential. I can’t see how the concentrated development in a very close proximity to existing housing can retain a rural character and feel the required housing should be more evenly distributed over all of Medway.
The housing which would be built in our view seem to be over 3 levels having a dramatic impact over our outlook of the fields and river. Although their is a public bridle way to reduce our impact it would not be enough to preserve the view.
I would highly recommend that this plan is amended to dramatically reduce the impact on the environment and the wonderful current outlook from this beautiful countryside.
