Publisher's Synopsis
"Thames Gateway" is the name of the area previously known as the East Thames Corridor, extending from Docklands in London to Tilbury in Essex and the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. It reflects the area of opportunity, on the threshold of Europe's largest city and of the expanding continental marketplace. This text describes the futuristic vision of the area and sets out the policies which the Government has adopted to guide its future planning. Part One describes the area's potential and the broad agenda for action - for the many bodies which will play a part in determining its future, whilst Part Two comprises the "Planning Framework", which forms a supplement to the "Regional Planning Guidance for the South East", published in March 1994.
