Medway Local Plan – January 2017
Medway Council is preparing a new Local Plan to provide direction on the future growth of the area. The aim of the Local Plan is to ensure that Medway grows sustainably, to provide land for the homes, jobs and services that people need, whilst protecting and enhancing the qualities of the area’s environment and heritage.
The formal consultation runs from 16 January to 6 March 2017. Full details of the consultation document, supporting information, survey form and consultation events are available to view on the council’s website at: www.medway.gov.uk/futuremedway.
Copies of the consultation document are also available to view at council libraries and Community Hubs across Medway. Comments should be submitted in writing to the council’s Planning Policy team by 5pm on Monday 6 March 2017 to be recorded and considered as part of the development of the new Local Plan.
