for Bonney
Way
Swanley residents can look forward to improvements to Bonney Way after the Council agreed
to sell the former playground to a landowner
who is planning to transform the site.
Sevenoaks District Council s Cabinet agreed at
its meeting last night (Thursday 24 September
2009) to sell the former playground to Bellway
Homes, who have planning permission to build
a number of new homes on the adjoining former hospital laundry site.

open to the public and will become the responsibility of the developers or their subsequent site
managers.

to make significant improvements to the site by
