We are proposing to regenerate our depot at Otford Road, Sevenoaks to provide new business units, supporting our local economy.
The site was used for many years by our waste collection teams to store equipment and has been extensively built on. There are a number of buildings and most of the remaining area has been tarmacked over.
However, in recent years, the site has not been used. We want to put this under-utilised site into good use to support our local economy by creating local jobs and services for the wider area.
Our early ideas are to build four, small light industrial units with a drive-through. These would provide much needed business space which businesses have told us are vital for the economic success of our local area.
Energy saving features form part of the proposal with solar panels and low carbon heating, electric vehicle charging points and cycle shelters.
We have already had interest from local and national businesses who have indicated they want to take space at the site. The finished units would remain in our ownership and would be leased to businesses.
View our information boards for further details of our proposals.
Next steps
From 14 September to 6 October 2024, we asked for residents' views on our proposals. This consultation has now closed. Once we have reviewed all of the responses, we review our plans and we propose to submit a planning application in early 2025.
We will update this page as our proposals develop.
