Any future development in these areas will require careful coordination with the Environment Agency to ensure appropriate mitigation measures are identified and delivered. Historic mapping reveals a network of former waterways, including a mill race branching from the River Kent. The former canal also extended into the site, terminating at a ‘T’-shaped basin serving the Gilkes factory. There may be potential to reintroduce elements of these historic waterways as part of a future redevelopment as part of a sustainable urban drainage (SuDs) strategy. Doing so could help relieve flooding pressures while re-establishing an important aspect of the site’s industrial heritage. Landscape The eastern side of the site is dominated by hardsurfaced industrial yards, while the western side contains a more varied landscape, including tree planting, allotments, and areas of open grassland. Pockets of trees are also found within the industrial yards, softening parts of the setting. A mature tree belt follows the line of the former canal, providing a strong landscape feature and a valuable ecological and heritage asset within the site.
