ArcelorMittal Kent Wire support this policy and note it is in conflict with the proposals for Chatham Docks. In the event Chatham Docks was redeveloped for residential use, we consider it highly likely that the dock gates would be fixed shut and riverside infrastructure would be lost, in direct contravention of this draft policy. We understand that as well as the current occupiers the Royal Navy also have the ability to access Pool 2 via Chatham Docks, which would be prevented if the lock gates were fixed shut.
