What is Medway's Local Plan?

The Local Plan is a statutory document that goes through an independent examination and is used to make decisions on planning applications for new development. By having a plan, it gives us a strategy to ensure housing goes in the right places. We can be proactive on growth, rather than reactive, ensuring we are in control of where the growth should be and what comes with that growth in terms of infrastructure improvements.

How to take part in this consultation. This six-week consultation is under Regulation 19.

What is Regulation 19? It's a planning term and refers to a stage in the local plan-making process, in the context of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.

We won’t be making any changes to the draft Local Plan at this stage, in line with the legal process. Comments received in this consultation will be submitted alongside the draft Local Plan to the Planning Inspectorate for examination and consideration. It will be for the Planning Inspector to consider any changes that should be made.

The consultation runs from Monday, 30 June to Monday, 11 August 2025.
