A substantial development opportunity of approximately 22.53 acres (9.12 ha) with long views to the North Downs and good connections to Ashford town centre, the motorway network and nearby Conningbrook lakes. Ashford Borough Council has resolved to grant outline permission for up to 180 homes, with access approved onto Kennington Road; delivery is subject to completion of the S106 agreement, which is close to finalisation.
The scheme includes 54 affordable homes and on-site Biodiversity Net Gain measures; nutrient neutrality obligations will be met mostly on site and adjoining land, though some nutrient credits will be required for later phases. Fast broadband and proximity to a range of well-rated primary and secondary schools add locational strength for family housing or mixed-tenure schemes.
Important constraints are factual and material: the consent is subject to the S106 being completed, some nutrient neutrality credits will be needed, and the wider area records a high crime level which may affect marketability and mitigation costs. Tenure and certain site service details are unspecified and will require due diligence before exchange.
This site suits residential developers or investors seeking a large-scale, near-term opportunity with planning momentum. The size, position and approved access offer clear scope for a phased delivery, but budget for S106 obligations, nutrient credits and local market mitigation when modelling returns.
