This comprises the first phase of a wider consent for up to 155 new homes that will follow on from previously approved Phases 1A and 1B.

Particular design considerations include; connections between approved and future development parcels, archaeological constraints, Public Footpath diversions and open space requirements to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain across the site.

Dual branded with both Barratt and David Wilson Homes, these homes will  create two subtly different character areas, generating interest and aiding legibility.

A variety of landscaping features will be delivered, including a community orchard, a new network of safe and attractive foot and cycle paths through open space, wildflower meadows and buffer planting, to complement the built form and promote healthy lifestyles.

The approval will allow BDW Kent to maintain continuity of build, while proposals for Phase 2B, the third and final phase are drawn up.
