Background:

This report sought authority to grant an easement for a right of way to serve the former Akzo Nobel site at Pier Approach Road, Gillingham.

It was noted that the approved masterplan for Berkeley Homes (Eastern) Limited’s development of the former Akzo Nobel site required a secondary emergency access over Pier Approach Road, as the level of residential development was above the threshold for a single access route. The Council in its capacity as the Gillingham Pier Authority owned a short section of land on Pier Approach Road, as shown hatched on the plan attached to the report, and therefore consent had been requested for a vehicular right of way for emergency vehicles.

Reasons:

The proposed Deed of Easement will enable the Council to obtain a capital receipt for the continued management and maintenance of the Pier and facilitate the continued regeneration of the area.
