A High Court ruling on the multi-million pound redevelopment of Gravesend’s Heritage Quarter is due on Monday (March 2).

Campaign group Urban Gravesham took Gravesham Council to the High Court over the £120 million scheme in June last year.

The group were seeking a judicial review of the decision to go ahead with the plans - which would see the Eastern Quarter, Western Quarter and St Andrew’s Gardens redeveloped to provide 330 homes, a 50-bedroom hotel and dozens of new shops.

News Shopper:

The decision was taken at a contentious planning meeting in April 2013, but it is claimed planning officers promised councillors at the meeting that the regulatory board would take one last look at the plans after extra funding was agreed.

However this did not happen.

The ruling is set to be announced by Judge Mr Justice Ouseley at 10.30am in Court 19 of the Royal Courts of Justice in The Strand, London.
