Our client continues to promote the site referred to as HHH19 in the consultation document and located immediately off the Ratcliffe Highway on the Hoo Peninsula as suitable for a mixed-use schemes in the future Medway Local Plan (MLP).

The site, which extend to approximately 13.9 has been identified as capable of accommodating up to 400 residential units as part of a mixed use scheme. If not considered by the Council to be suitable to be residentially led, consideration should be given to the site being employment land led, with the capability to support residential development.

Given the adjacent landownership on the east and west being brownfield land and with the site having been supported for development through the pre-application service with the Head of Planning and Senior Planning officer (see Council letter dated 21 April 2021) and which also included a separate site visit by the Council’s landscape officer with our client's landscape officer, this site should, respectfully, be allocated for future delivery.
