New searchThe proposed vision sounds wonderful in theory, but is very reliant on transport links being upgraded and a huge range of local ammenties actually being available to residents.
Overall, these are a good set of proposed key principles, but it will be important to ensure that they actually get put into practice.
The Overall Framework Plan sounds lovely in theory and will attract many people to the area and help relieve pressure on housing in other parts of the Medway towns. Again promises about transport infrastructure and local amenities will need to be kept to ensure this plan is realised.
Lok good and well thought out.
My main concern is that the proposed upgrade of transport links will not be implemented as outlined, leading to further bottle necks in the area. For my own part, I would not currently wish to live in the Hoo area due to poor transport links. I would like to bring to the attention of Medway Council the model of Land Value Capture as a means of financing rail infrastructure. LVC is being pioneered with the Northumberland Line, also restoring a freight-only line for passenger use, with six new stations and c.30% of the project cost financed through Land Value Capture. Higher land values in West Oxfordshire have indicated that c.80% of the cost of a new branch line off the North Cotswold Line to Salt Cross garden village, Witney and Carterton (by RAF Brize Norton) could be LVC-financed.
