Hallam Land has secured outline planning permission to deliver 1,000 new homes in Ashford, Kent, at appeal.
In 2006, Henry Boot’s land promotion and planning business entered into an initial planning promotion agreement with the landowners of the site and a planning application was submitted in 2018, with the site receiving an allocation for housing in the Ashford local plan in 2019.
Ashford Borough Council failed to make a decision on the application, which led Hallam Land to appeal in January 2025 based on non-determination.
In addition to the 1,000 homes, of which 19% will be affordable, the site will feature self-build plots, a local centre, a primary school, flexible office space and a community hall.
Tim Roberts, CEO of Henry Boot, said: “Securing outline planning consent for 1,000 homes in Ashford marks another significant milestone for Hallam Land and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing across the business. Hallam Land continues to prove its resilience and expertise in unlocking high quality development opportunities alongside landowners and local authorities.”
