Full planning permission issued for new Millwall FC training ground


The London Borough of Bromley


“This year the London Borough of Bromley has been named the best place to live in London for our strong links into central London, our great schools and our abundance of green space”


The planning team at law firm Irwin Mitchell has recently advised Millwall FC on its plans to build a new training ground in West Kingsdown, near Brands Hatch in Kent - which has been granted full planning permission.


The Championship football club now has the green light to erect new state of the art facilities on a 50-acre plot, that the club says will be “amongst the best in the country.”


Sevenoaks Council originally approved the plans for the construction of a training academy last October, but full permission was only granted today, following the signing of a s106 agreement.


The site, off Fawkham Road will include buildings for groundsman and security, indoor and outdoor football pitches, artificial turf and training areas, as


well as car and cycle parking and hard and soft landscaping.


The planning team advising on the scheme include Nicola Gooch, Planning partner, and Erica Ives at Irwin Mitchell, working with Joe Selby of Selby Projects and Rebecca Burnhams of Quod.


Nicola Gooch said, “We are excited that this project can now proceed and Millwall can create the state- of-the-art training complex which reflects the club’s long-term ambitions. The facility will help the club in its push to the Premier League and to develop the young players that will keep them there. It has been a long and complex process and we wish the club every success going forward.”

Bromley is the largest and greenest London borough with rapidly growing digital infrastructure and great connectivity, located with easy access to central London, as well as the Kent countryside, the M25, the coast and the continent. With more railway stations than any other London borough, there’s just 16 minutes from Victoria station to Bromley South and from London Bridge to Orpington. Bromley is home to Biggin Hill Airport, the only specialist business airport within the M25; accounting for 20% of business aviation traffic in the Metropolitan region.


Therefore, the borough has substantial investment potential, given both its infrastructure


to support economic


growth and its wider assets, which support employee and business wellbeing.


Bromley Town Centre is the borough’s metropolitan centre with an important office and retail offer, including The Glades. It is an Opportunity Area in the London Plan and a Night Time Enterprise Zone, serving a wide catchment area across South East London, the CAZ and North Kent. It is the cultural, civic and economic heart of the borough, recognised for its increasing leisure facilities and appetite for high quality office space. There is huge business provision and housing regeneration potential.


Both Biggin Hill and Crystal Biggin

Palace are ongoing


potential for economic growth in aviation related businesses/high-tech industry. Crystal Palace is growing its leisure, tourism, arts, culture and sports industry. The park is an important green space for the whole of South London. Highlighting this is the significant Regeneration Plan underway, including the restoration of the Crystal Palace Subway; to assist its transformation into a new cultural and events venue for South London.


Crays Business Corridor has been identified as a Strategic Industrial Location and represents just under 40% of all designated industrial & employment land


in the


borough. Our commercial property market, in particular the industrial market plays a key role to influence the size and scale of growth. There is significant potential to increase our industrial plot ratio here to attract high-tech production, inward investment and small- scale production activity.
