More convenience retail is a negative for a district centre like Rochester, which is very well established and has high tourism demand. More GVA would come from another restaurant or luxury shop.

Rochester centre is not a good place for residential occupation given the nightlife. To make it better for residential occupation would reduce its leisure and tourism offer, and thus negatively impact GVA.

Better quality public lavatories would dramatically improve the leisure and tourism offer.

A major improvement for Rochester would be a more active use of the river for taxi/ferry services.
