High Street / Rhode Street, Chatham,

The property is accessed from the High Street, Rhode Street and Whittaker Street. It previously comprised the former Trafalgar Centre (formerly in retail use), which has since been demolished, and the operational multi-storey car park.

The overall site is considered to be a key development opportunity to assist the regeneration of the town centre, which has experienced significant economic change. The Trafalgar Centre previously fronted the High Street and was formerly an indoor shopping market.

The multi-storey car park is accessed via Rhode Street and is a concrete structure arranged over 4 storeys, comprising 220 parking spaces. The total site area extends to approximately 0.59 hectares (1.45 acres).

The site is situated within the administrative boundary of Medway Council and is free from Conservation Area designations or statutory and local listings.

Additional provisions include landscaped public spaces, cycle storage, dedicated residential storage, and refuse facilities. There is no affordable housing provision within the S106 Agreement.







The site is bound by the High Street to the North, Rhode Street to the West, Whittaker Street to the South East, and commercial use to the East. The site is within a 10 minute walk from Chatham railway station.
