EMP4 - Business Allocation at Broom Hill, Swanley
A comprehensively planned employment development at Broom Hill, Swanley, as defined in Appendix 4, will be supported by the Council, subject to confirmation through a Transport Assessment that the transport impacts of development will be acceptable. Proposals should include:
- Development of 4.1 ha of employment land;
- Improved public access to open space through on site provision and improvements in the quality and connectivity of open space on Green Belt land to the north
The proposed layout of development should take account of the noise and air quality constraints that exist on the site and should be sensitive to the existing topography, green infrastructure features of the site and its surroundings and the amenity of nearby properties.
Access to employment development on the site will be provided through the existing employment site to the south.
Enhancement of habitats on Green Belt land to the north of the site will ensure that there is no net adverse impact on biodiversity and, where possible, a net improvement should be secured.
