a multi-modal industrial and warehousing facility based on the heavy railconnection mentioned above and the availability of deep water wharfage. Thesite is expected to deliver a significant volume of jobs and therefore lowdensity job development in warehousing and distribution uses will not besuitable. This is likely to have implications for the operation of STEMAAggregates at Red Lion Wharf but it is anticipated that this constraint could beovercome as the design, mix and layout of the site evolves. Should this notprove possible, priority will be given to the comprehensive regeneration of thesub-area over the aggregates use, as to do otherwise, would prejudice thedelivery of the Core Strategy and effectively sterilise much of this importantsite (see Policy CS07 on Economy, Employment and Skills, and CS11 onTransport)).4.4.22 The eastern part of the sub-area is expected to accommodateresidential development reinforcing the existing Rosherville North andLansdowne Square Residential Area (sub-area 1.9). A buffer zone comprisingopen space, landscaping and office/light industrial employment or otherappropriate uses will be required between this and the multi-modal industrialand warehousing facility to the west.4.4.23 The north eastern part of the site is within the Lansdowne Squareconservation area which includes the former Art Deco AEI office block. This islikely to form part of the residential component of the redevelopment of thesite and any proposals will need to protect and enhance its setting. The GradeII listed Rosherville Quay Walls, steps, drawdock and World War II minewatching post lie within sub-area 1.9 to the east. The Council would seek therestoration of Rosherville pier with links to new public open space as part ofthe development of this site.-4.4.24 The Council supports the principle of development likely to comeforward as a result of the existing planning permissions and the emergingmasterplan. Current estimates are that this could comprise around 240 newdwellings and approximately 75,000 square metres (NIA) of B1, B2 and B8employment floorspace. This area is identified as a Key Site.64
4.4.25 Existing Rosherville North and Lansdowne Square ResidentialArea (sub-area 1.9) consists mainly of an existing residential area that sits ona chalk spine above the River Thames and the former quarries to the east andwest. Lansdowne Square is a conservation area and the southern part of thesub-area lies within the The Overcliffe conservation area. The listedRosherville pier is referred to under sub-area 1.8 above.4.4.26 It is unlikely that this area will be subject to substantial change over theplan period. However, adjoining development should be designed to improveconnectivity and access to the riverside so that existing residents benefit fromimprovements to community facilities to be provided.4.4.27 Imperial Business Estate (sub-area 1.10) mainly comprises anexisting 1980s industrial estate. It is a busy employment area that isanticipated to remain in-situ over the plan period. A small undeveloped areaadjacent to the western end of the former Clifton Marine Parade, the WhiteHouse offices and Imperial Wharf complete the site. Except for possiblerounding-off of employment uses, it is not anticipated that this sub-area will besubject to substantial change over the plan period.Policy CS03: Northfleet Embankment and SwanscombePeninsula East Opportunity Area4.4.28 The Northfleet Embankment and Swanscombe Peninsula EastOpportunity Area is a substantial opportunity for major riversideregeneration in Gravesham. Development will bring significant benefitsto existing adjoining residential communities and the borough as awhole through the delivery of new housing and jobs whilst achievingenvironmental improvement, especially in air quality, and a highstandard of design.4.4.29 Any future proposals for the Swanscombe Peninsula EastUndeveloped Area will be subject to a comprehensive masterplanapproach which deals with the issues of flood risk, access, groundconditions, proximity to existing industrial uses, air quality, biodiversity,utilities, navigation and the presence of the HS1 railway line.65
