This report will seek Cabinet's views on the
Council's and SEEDA's recommendation for a preferred developer for
the hotel and commercial quarter at Rochester Riverside. The scheme
will include a high quality hotel with conference facilities and
commercial development.
142/2007 The Cabinet accepted the Regeneration
and Development Overview and Scrutiny Committee's comments.
143/2007 The Cabinet recommended to Council to select Developer B
as the preferred development partner for the hotel and commercial
quarter at Rochester Riverside and for the Council to enter in to
an Exclusivity Agreement with Developer B.
144/2007 The Cabinet recommended to Council to delegate authority
to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader of the
Council, to grant a development agreement and lease for a term not
exceeding 150 years for the land comprising the hotel and
commercial quarter at Rochester Riverside on the best terms
reasonably obtainable.
The recommendations to Council will enable the
regeneration of Rochester Riverside to proceed. The scheme will
ultimately provide the quality of buildings and open spaces
desired, will provide employment opportunities and improve the
tourism offer in Medway.
