Objection for the need for an additional crossing. Proposed crossing in wrong place. Hugely destructive and harmful. Doesn’t meet scheme objectives Would not solve the problems suffered due to the Dartford Crossing. Could possibly create 'rat-running' on local roads, thus making the local situation worse. Waste of money, particularly in the current financial climate Destruction and impacts to homes and communities Increase in carbon emissions. Increase in other types of pollution eg all forms of air pollution, noise, light, etc. Impact on the health of local residents Loss and impact to thousands of acres of farmland. Loss and impact to woodland (inc ancient woodland), trees and greenbelt. Devastating impact on wildlife and habitat, inc protected species. Concerns about construction impacts.
