INTERNATIONAL RAIL FREIGHT FACILITIES

Tabled by Sir Hugh Robertson (Conservative) 1 signatures

The motion

leave out from `House' to end and add `notes that the Kent International Gateway site is in the middle of the M20 so will dramatically increase road movements around the M26/M20/M2 interchanges around Maidstone, is situated on land of special scientific interest adjoining the North Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so is opposed by all local environmental groups, has blighted the housing market across the whole of the eastern side of Maidstone, is a local planning application yet to be determined and so is a completely different set of circumstances to Howbury Park and should be abandoned forthwith.'.
