About

Chatham Maritime is a waterside mixed-use area in Chatham, Medway, built on former Royal Dockyard land along the River Medway. The layout centres on a sheltered basin and quay, with new housing, office space, shops and cafés arranged around the waterfront. Public routes run along the river edge and onto the wider town; parts of the site retain original quay walls, bollards and stonework from its naval past, visible where the promenade meets former dock edges.

The basin functions as a small marina with moorings and a curved promenade that frames the water, and there are pedestrian links across the site connecting residential streets to commercial terraces. Community facilities, business parks and small-scale retail sit within blocks that reference the former dockyard footprint, and the area is served by road and river crossings that fit into Medway’s wider transport network. The layout makes the working wharf geometry of the old dockyard legible in the pattern of streets and open spaces.
