S8 Chatham Maritime
In the Chatham Maritime Mixed Use Zone and on St Mary’s Island, as defined on the proposals map, a high quality and innovative development will be sought which will set a standard for the Thames Gateway and create a townscape of note.
The development will:
- Include a factory outlet centre (retail), Class B1 offices, a hotel, land and water-based leisure uses and housing. Tourist facilities and Class A3 uses of a scale commensurate with their location will also be appropriate.
- Create a new transportation framework for the sites, including improved public transport, cycling and pedestrian links to Chatham and Gillingham town centres with a key objective of reducing the need to travel by the private car.
- Promote high quality and innovative design approaches to create a high quality and vibrant environment.
- Promote development which is complementary to the Chatham Historic Dockyard in order to maximise visitor appeal and integrate the site with the wider environment.
