Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 3475

Received: 08/09/2024

Respondent: ArcelorMittal Kent Wire Limited

Agent: Lucy McDonnell

Representation Summary:

The draft Local Plan states at paragraph 12.4 that "the presumption is that existing consented waste management facilities are safeguarded from loss to non-waste uses, or from proximate development that may limit or hinder their operation". This is in direct contradiction to the impact of the Chatham Docks redevelopment proposals in the draft Local Plan, which would inevitably lead to the closure of the four waste management facilities shown on the draft Policy Map on the northern part of the Chatham Docks site.
