Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Representation ID: 1824

Respondent: Mr Martin Earle
Representation Summary:
Seeking to retain as much employment land as possible seems to contradict the removal of Chatham Docks as an industrial site. The loss of those local jobs in order to build housing and possible regeneration zones would be many years down the line before completion. A resisdential/industrial mix use of any of the proposed sites (Docks and City Estate) sounds unrealistic and, based on the St Marys Island residents' complaints, a recipe for future problems.
