Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation Summary:
If the council is serious in its vision to boost Medway's economic performance and secure a range of jobs, then it should not be including the land at Chatham Docks in is Local Plan for housing development. These jobs already exist and the council should do all it can (ie not change the land designation) to safe guard them. Trying to provide employment on other sites in Medway has not always been successful, for example Innovation Park Medway and large amounts of empty office buildings across the towns. Let's keep what is working and help to make it even better.
