Please show an overlay with future flooding over a 100 - 200 year time frame, it is the professional role of Council Planners to protect their inhabitants over the long term. It is also their role to protect local assets from short-term speculative exploitation, Chatham Docks must not be closed and re-developed.

Medway has not been successful in transforming its urban waterfront. The fabric of the developments is thermally inefficient, they have no renewable energy and do not realise the unique potential of the sites. I visited one development in preparation for a TV interview and questioned whether the developer’s designers had actually visited the site.

Future developments on or near the Medway river and estuary, deserve to be the subject of an international architectural competition with carbon negative construction and operation at its heart. Such a competition could then be judged by the residents of Medway with a concomitant increase in awareness of good design and positive publicity for the Council.

There’s a danger in adopting an out-of-date, formulaic approach to Design Codes. There is an ever-growing awareness of the complex nature of creating sustainable, people, nature and environmentally friendly developments. These must be underpinned by the need to be carbon negative in construction and operation.

Chatham Docks has a much bigger and better role to play for the future of Medway than yet more unnecessary housing.

This aspect of the Local Plan deserves much more consideration, as it could be a game changer in the regeneration of our town centres.

Vacant units on the High Street could be repurposed, renovated and retrofitted to provide a more economic result for an already familiar part of the urban fabric

We have had decades where every aspect of our lives has been dominated by a personal mode of transport in the form of the car. This has allowed facilities and services to be ever more concentrated into larger and larger far-flung units. Reversing this trend will rely on peoples’ experience of walking, cycling and using public transport, being a pleasant one.

The evidence so far is that none of the above is happening. Much more thought needs to be given to waterfront developments. Fortunately, the actual housing need isn’t as pressing as we would be compelled to believe.

There is a raft of measures to enable developments to be more affordable. These can for example, be based on a design policy of LONG LIFE / LOOSE FIT / SURPLUS ENERGY. Such developments pay for themselves over a long period, are adaptable and flexible in use and sell surplus energy to the National Grid creating a revenue stream to off-set their cost.
