Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2023)

Representation ID: 1343

Received: 31/10/2023

Respondent: Mr Nicholas Chan

Representation Summary:

Currently, the narrow strip of land between the docks and Gillingham Train Station and carparks is marked as "Urban Regeneration Sites", potentially for housing. This should not be the case and this land should be protected for sustainable transport use such as a covered walkway, future tram or a cycleway. This will be an important thoroughfare between the denser redeveloped area in the docks and the current Gillingham urban centre. Maintaining access will support regeneration of the Gillingham urban centre into co-working spaces, businesses and sustaining current retail at Gillingham town centre.
