We take a look inside the derelict Mountbatten House in Chatham as council announce plans to redevelop it

Derelict, deserted and in desperate need of development.

That's the message from businesses in Chatham who say revitalising Mountbatten House, which has been abandoned for 15 years, will be a lifeline for the area.

Medway Council are said to be in advanced talks to transform the 12-storey building into a residential, office and rooftop dining space.
