    Blean Woods are a very good example of ancient woodland. When I worked for Kent Wildlife Trust they were planning this project and I'm glad to see that they have got the funding to go ahead. We need these wild areas to mitigate the effects of climate change and to improve biodiversity, which is essential as so many habitats are being destroyed.

    More craziness,  Medway & Maidstone will soon be completely joined up into one massive conurbation. Have you seen this @Carter?

    Kent is the 6th most densely populated county in the country.

    Nope, no consultation seen for that. I know the people who own that land are desperate to cash in on it though. 

    That will really destroy a lovely area and massively piss me off

    Me too, having lived in that area myself. 

    Is this land owned by the Atw.....s?

    Yes, they are not all horrible just the ones who don't live anywhere near who are causing this problem

    First I heard was on this thread, I've since seen the planning application and have lodged my objection. I moved to where I live now for the greenery and open space. I nearly ended up moving to Hempstead recently. Those roads that link Lordswood, Hempstead and Bredhurst are not planned to be widened (not that they can be) or any other road infrastructure is included in the consultation documents. This is a fucking 2000 dwelling development in the middle of somewhere that is already pretty inaccessible

    It is sheer madness. The problem is that as it is in the north of the borough of Maidstone, they won't be worried, because it will be Medway's problem. 

    I've lived in both Lordswood & Hempstead and the roads most definitely won't cope. 

    Soon there wont be any green spaces left and only huge housing estates.

    Thing is, the new builds are the equivalent of modern slums. Gaffs bang on top of each other with postage stamp sized overlooked gardens, no parking, narrow roads. Like the places they keep trying to tell us are no good (pretty much every property in Luton and the white road estate)

    Some of the ones around Ashford have been numbered using the Vorderman/Riley method. 
    The streets go like 2-10 - 5 -7 - 25 - 50
