Carter Jonas masterplanning, planning and development teams have acted on behalf of promoter and developer Shaptor Capital over a three-year period to progress proposals for a new garden village scale development close to Canterbury and Faversham in the Swale Borough of Kent.

The 2,000+ home settlement will sit adjacent to two existing villages, Boughton-Under-Blean and Dunkirk, with direct access provided via a new junction off the A2 highway. The new village will bring major benefits to the local area, including:

• A GP Surgery, dentists, dispensary and pharmacy;
• A Primary School and Early Years Centre;
• A work hub;
• 50,000sqft of commercial employment space;
• Sports hub; and
• Retail and leisure facilities.

Around 40% of the landholding will become public open space, utilising an established network of rights-of-way and Bridleways to provide access for residents to the wider countryside.
