Lodge Hill Development Brief
The council has written a Development
Brief for the Lodge Hill site. This was approved by Medway
Council’s Cabinet in December 2011.
The document was drawn up following a formal
consultation process in autumn 2011. The comments received during
the consultation were considered in producing the final version of
the development brief. A list of the comments received and the
council’s response is set out in the Schedule
of responses to public consultation for the Lodge Hill Development
Brief (pdf 264KB).
Policy CS33 of the emerging Medway Local
Development Framework Core Strategy makes a strategic allocation of
land at Lodge Hill for a new settlement, and sets out key
principles that will have to be followed in its development. The
Development Brief expands on Policy CS33. It provides more detail
about how the council considers the site should be developed. The
Development Brief also considers the potential impact of the new
settlement on the wider area.
The Development Brief is a material
consideration in the determination of any planning applications for
the Lodge Hill site. The development of Lodge Hill is expected to
take at least 15 years and the Development Brief will provide a
consistent guide and framework for developers over the time
period.
Lodge Hill evidence base
The documents below have been prepared to inform the strategic
allocation at Lodge Hill. These technical and specialist reports
show that the site can accommodate the scale of development
proposed. They have also informed the current masterplan,
which shows one way that the site could be built out.
Original versions of these reports were prepared in 2009. They
informed the publication draft of Medway's Core Strategy. In many
cases, changes in the proposals and circumstances since that time
have been limited, so the original document has been updated with a
short addendum. For some of the topics, changes have been
significant and a complete new report has had to be prepared. The
list below contains the most up-to-date version of each
report. The reference in bold before each document (for
example LH01) relates to the Core
Strategy evidence base reference number.
