It is important for the vision to identify development opportunities in sustainable locations for a range of high quality residential accommodation and employment sites to deliver future growth, whilst protecting the area's important environment and the heritage assets. Focus should be on identifying existing urban and brownfield sites and where possible, making efficient use of land and buildings over green field development.
Furthermore, policies need to be suitably flexible to ensure that developers have confidence to invest and respond to changes in economic circumstances.

Housing sites need to be identified to deliver a range of accommodation (types, sizes and affordability) to address the needs of occupiers from first time buyers to the elderly and specialist groups. The focus should be on urban and brownfield sites ahead of green field locations.

A range of sites needs to be identified to deliver employment and investment opportunities noting that work practices are changing and buildings need to be flexible to allow different employment uses. Traditional employment sites, such as the Medway City Estate, need to be considered as strategic development opportunities, particularly where waterfront locations can offer high quality redevelopment, making efficient and sustainable use of well located land, whilst having a positive environmental benefit.

New development must focus and prioritise urban locations and redevelopment of brownfield sites ahead of green field sites. Waterfront development has been successfully implemented in Medway and locations exist (eg Medway City Estate) where new high quality residential/mixed use "quarters" can be created in the future as part of a strategic vision. Early engagement with amenable landowners will enable the adoption of a comprehensive approach to realise strategic development opportunities to ensure future delivery of residential, employment, associated services and infrastructure in high quality public environments.

An adequate buffer should be built into the land supply - experience from Covid and fluctuations in economic circumstances clearly show that the development/construction sector and the supply chain is vulnerable to change and this has had a significant impact on commercial decisions and delivery. In these circumstances, larger sites are less likely to come forward due to initial infrastructure costs, requiring a range of sites to be allocated.

Sufficient sites/land must be allocated in sustainable locations, focussing on urban areas and brownfield land to achieve future growth requirements and housing needs and provide for a range of sizes, types and affordability. Planning applications for development proposals need to be viewed proactively and positively and determined expeditiously to provide developers with confidence to invest and deliver the range of accommodation that is required for the future growth of Medway. Viability of development proposals, notably on brownfield land, will need to be a material consideration and a flexible approach needs to be adopted by the Council when determining such proposals.

The Council should focus new development on existing urban areas and brownfield sites ahead of new greenfield land release.

Support strategic regeneration of waterfront sites and efficient use of brownfield land for new development. This approach is preferable to the release of greenfield land.

Support for the consideration of Medway City Estate as potential development opportunity which is specifically reference in the consultation document. The Council must engage early with landowners and businesses promoting land in order that comprehensive redevelopment can be progressed for mixed-use proposals in the short/medium term. Strategic development of Medway City Estate for a range of uses supports regeneration objectives and offers a logical and sustainable approach with the focus on brownfield land. Sites can come forward individually and as part of a comprehensive redevelopment but the Council needs to engage with interested landowners to crystallise development proposals.
