Hoo Development Framework

Somewhat disagree

I would rather no more houses were built in this area as it is beautiful open countryside and already has issues with too many cars causing traffic, pollution & safety issues. However, I am aware some form of development will go ahead no matter what current residents say so I have a few major concerns: - all new residential streets need to be wide enough for two way traffic & have plenty of parking. Where I live on Liberty Park, Wainscott, there is not enough allocated parking for each house so people park on the roads (which is fine) but the roads are not wide enough to have parked cars, moving traffic and can be easily blocked for large vehicles, eg fire engines & ambulances! - plenty of footpaths. I am a keen runner & love running in Hoo, Chattenden, Upnor, etc but some of the country lanes & main roads get too busy & dangerous for pedestrians. Lack of footpaths discourages people from walking, running & cycling, especially in the dark (4pm in winter!). - residential buildings need be no more than 2 storey. The extensive views, valleys and flatlands would be interrupted by higher buildings. Even flats/apartment blocks can be 2 storey successfully.
