Location
Planning
The Sports Ground is located off Galley Hill Road/London
Road (A226) in Swanscombe, Kent and accessed via a
single access point through Northfleet Industrial Estate,
located north of the site, via an entrance below a road
bridge carrying Galley Hill Road.
Any redevelopment of the Sports Ground site will be
subject to the necessary planning consents being
granted.
Bamber Pit is located off High Street, Swanscombe, Kent
with access to the site through a road between some
residential dwellings.
Both sites lie within close proximity to Swanscombe and
Ebbsfleet main line stations.
Description
The Bamber Pit site comprises a former landfill site located
in the northern part of a former chalk quarry. The site was
first used as a landfill from c.1977 following the granting of
planning permission for the tipping of solid inert waste at
Bamber Quarry. The land fill operations ceased in c.1986
and since 1993 the site has been shown as filled land.
Since the landfill activities ceased the surface of the site
has been left generally undisturbed.
The site is the subject of an Environmental Permit, formerly
a Waste Management Licence. There are obligations
under the Environmental Permit to manage and monitor
landfill gas and ground and surface water including
routine inspections by the holder of a relevant Certificate
of Technical Competence (COTC), currently organised
through Parsons Brinkerhoff Limited.
The Sports Ground site is situated in close proximity (though
without direct access) to Swanscombe Rail Station. The
railway line bounds the site, with the station to the south
west.
The Bamber Pit site is a former landfill site and is unlikely to
be available for any use in the foreseeable future other
than as open space.
Plans to develop a new £2 billion world class
entertainment destination on the Swanscombe Peninsula,
close to the sites, have been unveiled by a consortium of
leading UK and international companies.
Terms
The property is available on a Freehold basis, subject to
contract. Terms and further information are available
upon application.

Following receipt of your expression of interest you will
receive
a marketing
pack
containing
detailed
information about both sites.
The site boundaries include Galley Hill Road to the north,
railway lines to the east and south and a residential
development to the west. The boundaries to the north,
west and south of the site are high chalk cliff faces, and
the site effectively cuts into the landscape. The eastern
edge of the site slopes until it is level with the railway and
industrial units further east from the boundary. The site is
predominantly grass, with small clumps of shrubs and
hedges.
In the western half of the site is the location of a former rifle
range. The eastern half of the site is the former sports
ground, used historically in connection with industrial works
in the surrounding area. Neither area has been in use
since the start of the building of the CTRL in 2002 nor have
they ever been available to the public.
It is deemed that this site may be suitable for use by an owner
occupier or for redevelopment for employment generating uses.
