The proposals include around 60 new homes (including affordable housing) ranging from one to four bedrooms, catering to children of residents who want to become first-time buyers, growing families and downsizes that want to stay in the area. Our homes are specifically designed to be in keeping with Pembury’s existing character and to complement the existing area.
In addition, new open spaces including green corridors and an equipped play area will provide places for all ages to rest, relax and play. The development’s green infrastructure will promote local ecology and biodiversity and provide a distinctive character to the development.
The site has been sensitively designed to respect the site’s location within the High Weald National Landscape and the setting of the surrounding Listed Buildings including the Grade II* Listed Downingbury Farmhouse.
Potential options for vehicular access are currently being explored. Option 1 is a new access from Church Road in accordance with the Local Plan allocation. Option 2 is a new access from Maidstone Road. Both potential options are shown on the interactive map.
New connections to existing walking routes and Public Rights of Way are also proposed to improve accessibility into Pembury and the surrounding area.
