This large, remediated riverside plot in Aylesford offers clear development potential for residential schemes. The ground has been treated and is Level, reducing initial groundworks compared with brownfield sites. Its size — about 1.03 acres — and previous outline consent for 14 dwellings indicate scope for a sizeable scheme subject to fresh planning approval.
Practical constraints are material and must be factored into proposals. The site lies on a flood plain, so finished-floor levels, landscaping and drainage strategies will be significant design drivers. A main sewer runs beneath part of the site, restricting layout and sub-surface works. The earlier outline permission was subject to a Section 106 contribution and has now expired; any purchaser should assume fresh obligations may be required by the local planning authority.
Ownership and services are straightforward: the freehold is in two titles and services are understood to be available from Station Road. The site is registered for VAT. Its roadside access from Station Road and proximity to Junction 5 of the M20 make it convenient for construction logistics and commuting, while nearby schools and town amenities increase residential appeal.
This opportunity suits a developer or investor able to manage flood-mitigation and utility constraints and to lead a fresh planning application. Due diligence on planning viability, S106 liability, and detailed ground and drainage design will be essential before commitment.
