The plans for the multi-million pound development of Aylesham have been submitted to Dover District Council (DDC) planners.

The 10-year project includes the development of up to 1,110 environmentally-efficient homes (of which 20% will be affordable), new and improved shopping facilities, job opportunities, community services and related infrastructure on approximately 46 hectares. Ward Homes and Hillreed Homes are the developers responsible for it.

Nadeem Aziz, chief executive of DDC said: “ We are very pleased to receive the plans for the development of Aylesham, which will be given full consideration through the planning process. This is an exciting step in working to develop a quality future for Aylesham and the district.”
Building works are expected to commence mid-2008, with the first completions of new homes later that year.
