Sevenoaks council:
Wasps Rugby Football Club stadium and training ground proposal
Wasps Rugby Football Club has put forward an early proposal for a new multi-use stadium, training ground and a hotel as part of our Local Plan ?Call for sites?.
The Local Plan sets out what could be built and where in the next 15 years and the ?Call for sites? identifies potential development sites that could be included in our new Local Plan.
The location of the proposed stadium, training ground and hotel is the Pedham Place area on the outskirts of Swanley, Kent.
You will have an opportunity to comment on Wasps? proposal (and all other 'Call for sites' proposals), at our next Local Plan consultation from 23 November 2023 to 11 January 2024 (this consultation is subject to Cabinet approval on 9 November 2023).
As a top tier Club, with an international profile, we believe this is a once in a generation opportunity. Wasps would bring unparalleled economic, sports development, health, education, skills and cultural benefits to the District and we are keen to explore how that could be achieved.
However, the public and partners will all need to have their say on Wasps? proposals before it could be considered for inclusion in the new Local Plan.
Wasps? proposals would also require planning permission, which again would give the public an opportunity to have their say and actively engage in the process.
