Representation Summary:

Paragraph 3.1.5:- In considering options for sustainable development in Medway, the Council has sought to direct growth to brownfield sites first. This seeks to make use of previously developed land, and secure investment in regeneration. This position is supported. However, this regeneration agenda, which has been integral to Medway's change and growth in recent years, has focused on the evolution of town centres first. Future regeneration should not lose sight of sites that do not fall within the traditional Medway conurbation towns if there are also brownfield sites that would support the ‘brownfield first’ approach in the rural area.
