There is no assessment of the proposal for the residential led redevelopment of Chatham Docks. The Chatham Docks Employment Report considers the economic impact of a mixed-use redevelopment of Chatham Docks but in a superficial way without proper consideration of the loss of UK production of essential steel products. The issue is not adequately considered by the Sustainability Appraisal. Noting the very widely drawn strategic objective, the Council has so far failed to produce (or rely on) any evidence which properly appraises the proposed redevelopment.
