New searchOver the past decade a number of new developments have been built in Hoo, the aerial view you for one are using does not represent a current aerial view of Hoo, there is now a housing estate which backs on to Kings Hill Rec and Wall Close. The village is already under immense pressure, the current facilities are struggling, the roads are under pressure and it only takes one accident in the village for all of the roads to be gridlocked. In addition to this the pollutions levels in Hoo are already above the recommended levels. Buildings another 10,000 homes will increase the pollutions levels by 100 fold. You also need to consider the fact that 10,000 homes is potentially an additional 25,000 cars going in and out of the Peninsula. The electrics in the village are old and there has been a number (far more than usual) outages over the past 12 months - this will only set to get worse. The sewage system in the village will not be able to cope with the increased demand even with additional systems being put in place the older systems are going to struggle to dispose. The telephone lines in the village are also going to struggle. Building 10,000 homes on the Peninsula is a catoptric move, we need the wild life and the people of Hoo and surrounding areas need to open space.
By building the houses you are taking away the landscape, you are bringing in more polluted air and damaging peoples health. Village life should be kept as village life, the village will not be sustainable as you will be building on the current farm/ wet lands
I completely disagree with the frame work - again my points from the first page- Pollution Sewage Electric cables already struggling Telephone lines the doctor surgeries are already under immense pressure - so is Medway Hospital This doesnt just effect Hoo, it will effect all of the local amenities
I think that this will turn Hoo into a new town and the crime rate will increase, members of the community will no longer interact the way they do now, local village events will not be able to take place due to the additional 25,000 people that will be potentially moving into the area ( using the assumption for every 1 property built on average 2.5 people will live there)
Hoo in the last 15 years has nearly double in size and there has and still is immense pressure on the local services and road network. Crime levels have increased, drug dealers are on the rise, litter has increased with current villagers having to arrange local litter picking days. The pollution in Hoo is at an all-time high. Removing natural open spaces and replacing them with more houses will only contribute to the demise of the Peninsula.
