CDOCKS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A BROWNFIELD SITE. The loss of jobs would weaken Medway's economy and the site also has problems when considering housing, not least from the traffic and fumes.. flood risk etc.
Any strategy should protect this site and allow it to be enhanced for jobs alone. Peel is looking at the profits they could make, while still leaving signs of its own strategy i.e. saying the land is non viable and then asking for government help in flood derisking etc. If IPM is a total failure how can the council decide to let this site go?
