A detailed economic analysis should be performed to identify which option is best with the 2041 objectives in mind. Solving to maximise {council tax revenue, GDP per capita} and to minimise {carbon emissions, GINI coefficient} would be ideal, in my opinion, from the Council's perspective.

SGO 1,2 and 3 are likely to have very differing outcomes. SGO1 would force medway's economy to be upgraded to higher GDP per capita output, simply by moving lower-value businesses out of centrally-located, prime real estate. SGO2 would likely cause the greatest environmental damage, but would likely not upgrade Medway's economy, mainly delivering more housing.
