The scheme is comprised of 37, one and two bedroomed apartments, with level access parking for 27 cars in three individual blocks. Tenure is mixed, notably shared ownership and rented affordable. The scheme was designed and built in partnership with Registered Social Landlords, who will manage the buildings: L&Q Group and Tower Homes. The buildings were designed to suit their specification requirements and provide high quality and much needed affordable housing within the Borough. The principal contractor was The Oakwood Group. Kitewood purchased the site and secured a detailed planning consent which was sympathetic to the environment, existing amenity and ecology of the site. The scheme design was focused around the retention of a magnificent 500 year old Cedar Tree. Bob Grylls, Director of Kitewood said, “This scheme is the first residential scheme of its kind in the Borough of Croydon to attain an ‘Excellent’ EcoHomes Rating. This development underlines our Company’s commitment to design energy efficient buildings and to provide affordable housing within the London Boroughs. This scheme embodies a holistic approach to sustainability. The homes have been designed to incorporate building materials, selected from natural, renewable and recycled sources. The design includes super insulation, high efficiency boiler plant and careful consideration of orientation to maximise natural daylight.” |

The scheme had been delayed for 36 months, whilst the Kent development group successfully overcame a planning refusal and a common land claim. Comprising 46 three bedroom semi-detached dwellings, the scheme will be operated by Moat Housing and Downland Housing Association following its completion in late 2006. Its occupants are largely expected to be keyworkers from Crowborough and the immediate area. Kitewood director, David Tatterton says: “Although access to the Beacon site is via an existing residential estate and planning consent had been won at appeal, East Sussex County Council took the unprecedented step of requesting a DoE public enquiry over village green status. Its subsequent ruling allowed the scheme to proceed, albeit more than 18 months later.” |

The go-ahead to build new houses in the Thanet village of Hillborough will lead to construction of a much needed by-pass to relieve high street congestion, especially near Reculver Primary School. Canterbury City Council has granted Kent property developer, Kitewood, planning permission to build new homes at Hillborough Farm, a brownfield site at the edge of the village. Kitewood has also purchased an adjoining site enabling it to apply for planning to complete the by-pass, perhaps by as early as summer 2007. The provision of the new road through the Hillborough Farm and adjoining sites is an objective sort by Canterbury City Council in its planning policy for the area. Planning permission for Hillborough Farm provides for 98 new houses, 29 of which will be affordable dwellings. Kitewood spokesman, Paul Watkins says: “Hillborough high street is narrow, and in some places, without any pavement at all. Consequently it becomes congested when children are taken to, and collected from Reculver School. The new by-pass will effectively steer all through traffic away from the village, improving the environment for all residents.” |
