Digital News Production (Planning 10)

   We have had a response back from Land Securities after the email I sent them. We did not receive the ideal response we wanted, as the statement we received did not mention any reference to the nightingale birds at all. I have tried to call Land Securities twice but I could not get any answers from them after being diverted to numerous numbers as well as being told to refer to the statement which I have been emailed. We can still use the statement but we will have to cut it down and take out key pieces of information from it.


Email reads A spokesperson for Land Securities, said: “We were delighted when Medway Council approved our Outline Planning Application for Lodge Hill, which will allow for a truly sustainable development to be delivered. We have worked hard over several years to create a masterplan which addresses all potential impacts associated with the regeneration plans and we are grateful for the constructive involvement of Council officers, local residents and other important stakeholder groups.

“Lodge Hill will benefit life and business in Medway by bringing much-needed homes and road improvements and will create approximately 5,000 jobs to secure the Peninsula’s status as a significant economic destination in the region.”

"The proposals for Lodge Hill will create a new community hub on the Hoo Peninsula, that will bring with it benefits and amenities for people living in the area, including a countryside park, sports facilities, health services, a nursing home, three new primary schools and a new secondary school."
