LO 4 Development in Swanley
In Swanley provision will be made for approximately 660 dwellings (2006-2026) throughout the town on a range of sites suitable for residential use within the urban area.
The local economy will be sustained through the regeneration and redevelopment of existing suitable employment sites to better meet the needs of business and through the allocation of additional land not in the Green Belt for employment purposes adjoining the M25. Developments in Swanley will be accompanied by measures to increase the attractiveness of sustainable transport modes.
In allocating sites for development in the Allocations and Development Management DPD, the emphasis in this area will be on:
- the town centre and adjoining areas
- for employment development, existing employment areas and land adjoining Junction 3 of the M25;
- providing additional public open space where opportunities arise: and
- protecting the setting of the town and the physical and community identityof the adjoining settlements, and prevention of coalescence
