Crest Nicholson starts first phase of huge residential development project in Ashford

Residential developer Crest Nicholson will shortly start working on the first phase of its 168 hectare development at Finberry, in Ashford, which is the first to be built under the Government’s Get Britain Building programme.

According to a news article on the topic, the development will comprise 1,180 homes and will be delivered in fourteen phases, with phase one, which will be known as Stour Meadows, consisting of 140 two and three bedroom cottages and four bedroom family homes. Planning permission has recently been granted for a further 245 units in phase two, and Crest Nicholson intends to submit planning permission for phase three’s homes in early 2014.

Additionally, construction is also underway to provide seven hectares of commercial space, as well as the necessary infrastructureamenities will include a primary school, convenience store, local restaurant, health centre and various communal facilities such as a community centre and sports pitches.

The first phase of development will provide a 1km access road linking the development to the A2070, and is due to be completed by the end of 2013.

An extensive plan for landscaping across the site is also well underway, with land used from the construction of the access road remediated into agricultural use. Tree and hedgerow planting has also commenced, as has the construction of three ornamental lakes that will run parallel with the route of the access road and surround the development’s perimeter.
