Background:
This report provided details of the draft 2017 Strood Waterfront Development Brief, which had been prepared for consultation. The report stated that the Council had adopted a Strood Riverside Development Brief in 2006, setting out the design principles and guidelines for land to the north of the railway line, along Canal Road, and how development could come forward on the site. There had been considerable changes, both locally and nationally since 2006 and this policy basis needed to be updated to reflect current conditions and opportunities.
The report stated that the updated policy would support the Council’s ambitions to realise the regeneration opportunities presented by the sites in Strood. This could secure investment and deliver high quality development that would boost the area’s economic, environmental and community wellbeing.
The report also provided details of the proposed consultation process. It was noted that a Diversity Impact Assessment would be carried out during the consultation stage.

Reasons:
