The current plan, notwithstanding the previous objections, still envisages the destruction of irreplaceable green belt and prime agricultural land for the development of housing. This housing is not beneficial to existing communities and often is used by other agents to relocate non resident individuals out of their current locations and provides relatively little benefit to Medway residents.

Furthermore, the infrastructure and health and schooling facilities in Medway are already struggling to cope with current demand and traffic levels.

The plan does not sufficiently recognise the adverse impact of the loss of green area and the natural environment, e.g. the loss of green belt. This will have an irreversible adverse impact of the wellbeing of existing Medway communities.

Please see my existing comments on the destruction of green belt and prime agricultural land and the adverse impact this has on the well being of existing residents

The destruction of green areas, green belt and agricultural fields is not a sustainable nor an environmentally sound course and is largely irreversible to the detriment of our communities in the longer term.
