Hello and welcome to the live stream of the planning committee meeting at Gravesham council.

Please note there will be a few seconds delay between what is happening live and what is being broadcast.

The stream will go live from roughly 7pm.

Tonight, councillors will decide whether or not to grant permission for the £120 million scheme.

If agreed, the first phase will see three buildings with 141 flats, restaurants, a 50-bedroom hotel and underground car parks built within nine months. There will be a three month period from now, in case any representations are made against the decision. A new town square will be built over the car park next to the market off Queen Street.

Parking will be moved underground and flats will be built above what is likely be restaurants, such as Nando’s and Pizza Express. This phase will see the closure of the Horn Yard and Market Square car parks with the loss of more than 200 parking spaces. Nine months to a year after phase one starts, a detailed application for the second phase will be made which includes redesigned grounds for St George’s Church, a church hall fronting West Street, and the St George’s Shopping Centre enlarged.
