New searchThe vision is flawed! In 2017 Medway Council said the Hoo Peninsula was unsustainable for further development because of inadequate transport infrastructure and possible damage to the ecology. Medway Council are putting forward this proposal before an agreed Local Plan with supporting evidence. This is pre-emptive! Where is the evidence that other sites were looked at and rejected? Surely Medway Council should try to find a areas where the ecology will be least affected and where there is existing infrastructure to easily upgrade in order to support 12,000 new homes. It seems that Medway Council have done the complete opposite!
It's not landscape-led, it's money-led! The document makes no attempt to consider the relationship of any new developments with other parts of the Hoo peninsula that will be affected. This section is flawed because this development has been largely influenced by house builders with very little input from local communities.
This document has no established evidence base. Where are the ecology and environmental impact assessments for the local communities to consider? Where is the projected traffic and pollution assessments? This is a flawed document!
Neighbourhoods should not be built on. Since leaving EU, the government have already stated that we should be growing more of our own food. So why is Medway Council even considering building on Grade 1 agricultural farmland. This whole plan/document is bonkers!!!
With Local Plan now back at Reg.18, that surely means the HIF money won't be available. This plan/document should be put back in the drawer and looked at again when the new Local Plan has been adopted.
