Glaxo Smikth Kline (GSK) Site, Powdermill Lane, Leigh - Proposals for Future Development |
The report sought retrospective endorsement of the Borough Council's response to Sevenoaks District Council's consultation on a Supplementary Site Allocations document, which formed part of the Development Plan. The consultation identified nine sites, of which the former GSK at Leigh was one. The proposal was to allocate the site as residential-led mixed use (100 units), retaining an element of offices, warehousing and general industrial use. The deadline for comments to the consultation was Thursday 10 May 2012 and a copy of the response letter sent to Sevenoaks District Council was attached as Annex 2 to the report. Members supported the proposal in principle, but asked that officers monitor the situation regarding access and traffic movements. The Director of Planning, Transport and Leisure considered it reasonable for the Borough Council to view any traffic assessment information. RECOMMENDED: That the comments previously made by officers be endorsed, subject to the further comments set out above being forwarded. *Referred to Cabinet |
