Chathams Regeneration Sites

Chathams broad ambitions for development has been divided into three regeneration areas, and these are the master plans that have been produced;

1) Chatham Waterfront
.
2) The Brook
.
3) Station Gateway
.
.
Chatham Waterfront........................
Chatham Waterfront will stretch from Globe Lane, to the Command House pub right round to the Sun Pier. The idea behind the plan is the create a striking waterfront right at the heart of the City of Medway. The mix in this area will include residential, business and community uses.
Proposals have been put forward for a hotel, conference centre, major theatre and even a waterside park.
The Brook...........................................
The plan for The Brook is to widen the road and the path for a more improved residential zone that will span between The Brook and the Great Lines. This will also include a lively boulevard with new shops, leisure facilities and new homes.
Station Gateway................................
The whole of this plan is centred around Chatham railway Station. The main master plan is looking to create a new business quarter with a much more improved and vaster arrival point for passengers travelling by bus and rail to Chatham. This will be a gateway into the new Chatham with improved links into Chatham centre.
.
.
The proposed new bus facilities include a bus interchange at Chatham railway station with an additional high tech bus station on Sir John Hawkins Way which includes the Sir John Hawkins car park.
.
The long term plans for regeneration of Chatham will mean a bigger and busier Chatham.
