The fate of the next phase to redevelop the site of a former power station is set to be decided tonight.

Councillors will discuss plans for the third stage of thepowerhouse revamp at the old Littlebrook Power Station in Dartford.

Developers have acquired the land and hope to build another giant warehouse along with two smaller industrial units next to the Amazon depot and an IKEA distribution centre next door.

Applicants Bericote Properties say the third large unit will be 300,000sq ft – almost half the size of the Amazon warehouse.

Unit 3 on the site, which is yet to be occupied by a tenant, would stand at 24.5m tall and comprise of a single warehouse for storage and distribution uses.

Dartford councillors will decide whether to approve the development, which has been recommended by planning officers, when they meet this evening.

Two smaller buildings – designated as phase four of the overall redevelopment – would be intended for a wider range of industrial uses and office space.

No major concerns have been raised by public bodies consulted on the plans but 16 comments were received by neighbours.

These included opposition based on there being too many warehouses in the area already and concerns about the increased level of traffic the proposed units would create along with increased noise and pollution.

Residents also said there is inadequate road infrastructure which would see added congestion along Marsh Street and Bob Dunn Way.

KCC Highways said "sustainable access" is achievable and acknowledged that although traffic would increase on local roads, the impact fell within limits set to measure changes to "day to day" traffic flows.

As part of the development, Bericote will be asked to add £220,000 to its £2.3m contribution to fund upgrades to the Junction 1a slip roads on the M25.

A report published ahead of the meeting updates councillors that a consultant has been appointed to assess options for how the upgrades should take shape.

The work is expected to be finalised in the summer.
