In relation to the regeneration of Medway, the plan process should include review of the key areas of regeneration and specifically consider how the wider transformation of the waterfront will be supported throughout the plan period. There should be flexibility within the policy approach to allow for mixed-use developments to ensure that there are sustainable communities within the areas of regeneration.

Whilst our client generally supports the overall Strategic Objectives it will be important to ensure that detailed policies under the subsequent chapters are formulated appropriately, in order to support their delivery.
