Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Respondent: Peter Chatwell
Representation Summary:
Arriving into Chatham centre via any current transport means is an undesirable experience, not at all in keeping with a town that aspires to be a city centre. The road network is extremely offputting, for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. I don't see anything in these plans to change the structure of Chatham, other than to add more housing in. As it stands, with these plans, Chatham would struggle to be seen by visitors and residents as a city centre.
Much more ambition is needed. Chatham's naval history and its riverside location are its USPs.
