The proposed development at the site, at High Halstow, has been designed to carefully take account of planning policy requirements as well as site characteristics for example local character, heritage, and landscape, to bring forward a high-quality and attractive scheme.

The proposals are of an appropriate layout and form which promotes the 15-minute neighbourhood concept, is exemplary in terms of appearance and provides high-quality residential development, designed to be inclusive and accessible, and to contribute to the health and wellbeing of existing and future occupants.

The site will bring forward the creation of a vibrant community by delivering new amenities through the provision of a local centre, and new public open space, incorporating recreational routes, amenity spaces and new children’s play areas benefiting existing and future residents.
