Medway's multi-billion-pound regeneration programme takes a major step forward on Tuesday with the submission of a planning application for Temple Waterfront in Strood.
Lafarge Cement UK - which jointly owns the 69-acre site with Medway Council and timber merchants Morgan and Company - is seeking outline planning permission for up to 620 homes and 12,300 sq metres of mixed-use employment and retail floorspace, creating around 250 jobs.

Cllr Rodney Chambers, leader of Medway Council, said: "This application is another milestone for our 20-year regeneration programme."
David Simms, land and planning director at Lafarge Cement, said: "This a huge step forward. Temple Waterfront, with its links to the M2 and superb views across the river to Rochester’s castle and cathedral, is one of our most important sites."
