Kitewood is continually looking for land. Our strategic land team take short and long-term options on land and then pro-actively promote the land within Local Development Plans.
Some examples of our strategic land portfolio follow:
HILLBOROUGH NEW COMMUNITY
Kitewood has for many years owned or controlled this 170 acre site which was previously suggested as a mixed use site by Canterbury City Council. Parts of this area now have planning consent.
The site is being promoted via the Local Development Framework (LDF), for mixed use development embodying residential, commercial, a school and other local community facilities including a new rail halt.
The proposed sustainable urban extension would provide:

HAILSHAM, SUSSEX
Kitewood identified Hailsham in East Sussex as a location for development. Land was secured on two sites which were promoted through the Planning system. Both sites obtained planning consent for 148 dwellings and 70 dwellings respectively.
These are to be built out by Kitewood's development company, Octave Homes.
WHITSTABLE, KENT
Kitewood have an option on 26 acres of farmland shown to the right at Chestfield, near the popular coastal resort of Whitstable. The land was promoted as a mixed use scheme in the Local Plan Review and the Local Plan Inspector supported this allocation.
The envisaged scheme includes a 14 acre business park, 200 homes and a new recreational park, which will include flood compensation measures which will safeguard existing houses.
BARNES WAY AND NEVILLE WAY, KENT
This scheme provides 150 new homes on a former factory and storage area. The development of these combined sites has created a needed by-pass for the village of Hillborough, easing congestion.
Purchased in 2004 the site is developed principally by Octave Homes and now provides a mix of properties for the public and private sector. The scheme includes a play area and open space for the residents.
BOURCHIER CLOSE, SEVENOAKS, KENT
Kitewood have secured a 2.2 acre site in the middle of Sevenoaks in Kent. The site is in multiple ownership which required patient negotiation to conclude an option to purchase agreement. The scheme also includes an overflow car park and new access road for the adjoining St Nicholas Church which will resolve a significant highway issue with the existing access to the church.
