Plans have formally been submitted to transform a disused shopping mall and car park into town centre flats.

In November, a consultation into the development of the former Trafalgar Centre in Chatham High Street was launched.

Aylesford-based Terance Butler Holdings wants to construct 200 apartments across three buildings, as well as co-working spaces and creative arts studios.

Its plans revolve around demolishing the Trafalgar building – which closed in 2013 – and partially demolishing the multi-storey car park on Rhode Street.

NCP gave up the lease for the car park last year; part of it will be retained to provide 192 spaces.

Under the plans, the development would be across three blocks, the first of which would be facing the High Street.

One of the blocks is planned to be 11 storeys high, and another would be built above the existing car park and will be linked to the High Street block.

The plans are expected to be considered by Thursday, April 7.
