Plans to build 250 homes between two new estates have been unveiled.

Gladman Developments has revealed proposals for the residential scheme on land off Ham Road, Faversham.

It will neighbour the 26-home estate called The Goldings, and will be opposite the 330-home Faversham Lakes scheme.

Developers say residents of the proposed homes will bring more than £8 million of spending to the area, “a proportion of which will be spent in the locality”.

“Our proposals will provide a range of houses which meet the housing need in Faversham,” a consultation document states.

“Alongside market housing, the development will also provide up to 35% affordable homes, which will allow those such as first-time buyers greater scope to remain in the area.”

Although there will be a range of housing, the exact mix of sizes and tenures will be agreed in negotiation with the local authority’s housing team.

The main access to the site is proposed off Ham Road as “it is considered to be the safest and most appropriate location for vehicles to access the site”, according to the consultation.

There are also plans to provide children’s play spaces to cater for a range of ages.

“These will be located in a safe and accessible location in the development for all to enjoy,” the consultation added.

“The play areas will be available to new as well as existing residents of Faversham.”

Gladman Developments says it is currently at the stage of preparing an outline planning application, which seeks permission for the principle of development at the site.

Bosses say they will consider all comments submitted as part of the consultation, which will influence their proposals.

Developers say: “Local businesses such as shops, pubs and restaurants are likely to benefit from the additional custom that the development will generate.

“Often people are concerned that the proposed development will put pressure on local services. As a result, financial contributions will be made where there is a need to increase capacity in these services.”

The development will also generate about 330 full-time construction jobs and 360 indirect jobs, they say.
