The Paddock

Chatham

A biodiverse public garden reconnecting Chatham’s civic landmarks through landscape, heritage, and inclusive design.

The Paddock is the first step in a wider regeneration strategy for Chatham’s town centre. It introduces a richly planted and inclusive public garden that reconnects key civic and cultural landmarks, including the High Street, Fort Amherst and the Brook Theatre. By reinstating historic routes and creating a layered, biodiverse landscape, the design supports social life, ecological resilience and a renewed sense of place rooted in the town’s heritage.
