CHATHAM WATERFRONT Development receives planning permission!

“Chatham is on the way back up!”

John Lyall Architects ‘ regeneration scheme for Chatham’s waterfront has been awarded Planning Permission this week at public committee.

The mixed-use scheme on land owned by Medway Council and A2Dominion comprises a series of buildings in a pedestrianised landscape for commercial uses, an 80-bed hotel and 111 apartments with both river and town views. The development will re-define the sky-line of Chatham when seen across the river Medway from Rochester, integrate the public waterfront with the town centre and kick start the regeneration of the wider area.

The project was passed unanimously, having received widespread approval from the planning committee.  Councillors remarked that the scheme  was “fresh and forward looking” and  ”vibrant”, and that it “will assist considerably in the regeneration” of the town - “Chatham is on the way back up!”
