Infrastructure Works
Planning application: Infrastructure and access works to serve a town centre redevelopment
Local Planning Authority: Swale District Council.
Highway Authority: Kent County Council.
Outcome: Approved.
A town centre redevelopment as part of a Joint Venture Scheme with U+I Group PLC and Quinn Estates, in conjunction with Swale District Council.
The scheme encompasses a number of phases of work that include the re-alignment of the A2 road through Sittingbourne to release some development land for the construction of a cinema and retail facilities. The scheme also includes providing serviced sites for future residential development by the Joint Venture, as well as improvements to the existing Sittingbourne Train Station.
The scheme encountered a number of complications typical of town centre redevelopment schemes, however, through close co-operation and interaction with the client and contractor teams, the complications were successfully overcome.
