Volume 1: Sustainability Appraisal of the Maidstone Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Development Plan Document 2023–2040

Disagree

In relation to The Lodge, Site C4S-008 the Sustainability Appraisal, The Environment Agency identifies risks including flooding and water run off into water lane (the clue is in the name) which have not been properly addressed. This site is clearly inappropriate and unsustainable for other reason including access to local services. These are already under severe strain since the building of the Barty Farm estate and the access created into Roundwell - which is extremely busy. There is no safe walking available on Water lane and therefore no easy access to any local services.
