Decision details

This report will set out a consultation timescale on three regeneration development briefs for Chatham:
a) Station Gateway from Chatham Station to High Street.
b) Waterfront from the High Street to the Command House.
c) The Brook from the Army Careers Office to the old cinema in Upbury Way (the east side of The Brook).

61/2007 The Cabinet agreed to authorise the Director of Regeneration and Development to make minor changes to the proposed Development Brief for the Brook, Waterfront and Station Approach areas of Chatham and issue it for consultation.
62/2007 The Cabinet confirmed that no decision would be taken on the demolition of the flyover until the statutory consultation on the Development Brief had been completed.

An approved Development Brief should be in place before any major development is permitted. This is to ensure development is of a high quality and is in accordance with the Local Plan and other policy and design guidance. Consultation on a draft brief is an important stage in the process.
