CHR3 and was the subject of a Planning Inquiry in March 2023.
The Planning Inquiry Inspector identified elements of the landscape and visual effects that are key issues that would prevent the site being considered for development and refused the appeal.
The National Planning Framework accords the highest status of protection to AONB and policy BNE32 of Medway Local Plan 2003 requires that any development should conserve the beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area.
I believe this site is one of “those aspects of Medway that we want to safeguard for the future” .
