The apartment block developments along Pier Road over the last few years has greatly improved the area and provides many homes. However, if Chatham Docks was also developed for housing, there would just be continuous lines of apartment blocks all the way to St Mary's Island. This would just be taking this sort of development too far and will lose the distinctive heritage provided by the docks. Any plan for Medway needs to include diversity and Chatham Docks definitely provides this, especially if it is fully developed as a port and business park, specifically related to shipping activity.
