ORCHARD FARM

By hvr@collective.co.nlNo Comments

Planning Approval Secured
We are delighted that planning approval has been secured for Phases 2 and 3 of the Outline Application for our award-winning Orchard Farm masterplan in Kent. This marks the final stages of the development, following Phase 1 Reserved Matters approval.

Landscape-led Living
Collective designed the masterplan to transform East Kent’s farms, hamlets, orchards, and rural patterns into a connected, landscape-led community at the edge of the Kent Downs. These final stages will deliver up to 97 new homes. A plot-based design offers the next generation of homemakers real opportunities.

Life at Orchard Farm thrives on connection and collaboration. Communal courtyards bring residents together and support individual expression. Open spaces and paths link homes, courtyards, and parks. They encourage walking, cycling, and social interaction. The community celebrates choice and variety. Residents have freedom to shape their homes and surroundings.

Collaborative Approach
Leading the masterplan design alongside Orchard Farm Kent Ltd and collaborators has been a rewarding experience. Partners include Thomas Ashley, Barter Hill Partnership Limited, Betteridge & Milsom, EDLA, Hone Ecology, Peter de Groot, Space Maker Architects, and others.

We look forward to seeing Orchard Farm grow into a shared living landscape. It is a place where people and nature thrive.
