Horsted Development Concern



This blogger alongside many in the community, including Medway Labour campaigners continue to show concern around the development of the former Horsted Mid-Kent college site.

Medway Labour has challenged the Conservative administration for its casual disregard for building in Rochester.

The Tories in Medway have a poor record on allowing building developers to run roughshod over local peoples concerns. Watts Meadow and Copperfields are two such areas under threat.

Developments which are against the express wishes of the local population.

The Conservatives in Medway have a legacy of selling green space and land to the highest bidder for a quick buck.

The planning reference for this new Horsted development can be found at MC/11/0001 and can be accessed on the Medway Council planning portal

Despite opposition it appears that the Tories have not been able to articulate the very real concerns of residents to the developers, which has resulted in them submitting a new proposal which seeks a similar level of building.

In addition to this failure to represent local people, the Conservative-contolled Council has failed to provide full details online beyond the basic details of 154 units out of a project aprox 340.

The public do not have time to go to Council meetings. Details should be published in full and online.

It is extremely disappointing that despite community objections the Conservatives have not put pressure on these developers to think again.

Extremely disappointing indeed
