“ Chatham Waterfront is rich in heritage and steeped in defence and military history . Parts of the site fall within the Chatham Lines scheduled monument and the Brompton Lines Conservation Area , and numerous listed buildings needed consideration . Not forgetting the setting of Fort Amhurst and Fort Pitt .
The Chatham Waterfront development represents a bold step forward for the town , promising to blend its historical significance with modern living . By creating a vibrant , sustainable waterfront , Chatham is positioning itself as a prime location for living , working , and visiting .
“ Whilst this unique location is a plus point , it needed sensitive handling . Medway Development Company engaged HCUK Group to advise on heritage and archaeology . In liaison with the project team , HCUK ensured that new structures preserved heritage significance and key long range views . Archaeological fieldwork discharged the necessary planning conditions and yielded results of considerable local significance , documenting the development of the commercial waterfront from the 17th century onwards .”
