We cannot afford to lose ancient woodland. Once lost it's gone forever. Who gives us the right to deny our children and future generations the beauty of woodland?
This is a lovely wood full of wildlife. Used by families, dog walkers and cyclists. Plenty of other brownfield sites for development. Lordswood is totally congested as it is without more houses.
I walk this area on a regular basis and the impact on the wildlife will be devastating. Lords Wood is already overcrowded with housing and industry so it's time Maidstone council need to take note.
I do not understand how developers nor the council think that lordswood can cope with any more houses. The schools, doctors and amenities are already stretched to capacity and not to mention the road structure leading to the M2 is a joke without any more traffic being added to it. The idea of Lordswood being called a wood is for us to enjoy what woodland is left not putting another 100 unnecessary houses on it.
As this is not a brown field site I don't understand why building such as this would be allowed to take place. There is not the infrastructure to support this amount of new housing and I don't see any allowance for this in the plans. We need to keep this small amount of Woodland remaining in Lordswood.
No more houses on greenfield areas. Regenerate the existing grotty spots in Medway first!!!! No spaces in local schools for any more kids & other facilities inadequate for existing residents!!
There are not enough green fields in Medway. Roads are not equipped to take extra traffic at peak times

Ancient woodland is precious don't destroy the little piece we have left. Lordswood is so congested and overpopulated already, the infrastructure wouldn't be able to cope it's already struggling, gleaming wood drive also has a really fast bend where people have already lost lives.
