BR8 8.32 Acres, Maidstone Road, Upper Hockenden, Swanley

The site, which is previously undeveloped and in current agricultural use, extends to a gross area of approximately 8.32 acres (3.42 Hectares) with a net developable area of approximately 5.19 acres (2.13 hectares).

Access to the site is via a single spine access road, with highway access proposed via a new crossover from the B2173 Maidstone Road to Hockenden Lane. This road will be widened to accommodate 2-way HGV and will feature a new combined public footpath and cycle way to link the development to the Main Road.

The proposal also includes junction and road improvement works to create a controlled junction where Hockenden Lane meets Maidstone Road.

The site features an area of woodland which is to be retained and managed for off-site BNG mitigation.

The site is located just off the B2173 at Upper Hockenden to the west of Swanley.
