Housing and Planning
Whilst there is a shortage of homes those being built are not affordable locally and there is not anywhere near enough investment in local infrastructure necessary to support very significant increases in the local population. There are not enough roads, sewers/water treatment, hospitals, doctors, dentists and schools to support the expansion of housing schemes. This view is widely held across Kent.
Reform UK policy:
No further housing developments in this locality until there is a strategic infrastructure plan showing how services in the area would cope with an increased population.
