LAND OFF THE LENGTH, ST NICHOLAS-AT-WADE, KENT, CT7 0PJ

Description and LocationSt Nicholas-at-Wade is a small village of character within Thanet, benefiting from a Post Office, public houses, church, village hall and primary school. The existing residential development comprises a mixture of period dwellings, with some former local authority housing stock. A wider array of amenities can be found at nearby Minster, Birchington-on-Sea and Herne Bay.

The Property itself comprises broadly level undeveloped agricultural land of about 2.75 acres, and was previously part of an equestrian livery yard. It is rectangular and lies along the north-eastern side of The Length, the main road running through St Nicholas-At-Wade. The A28 is about 75 m east of the site’s south eastern boundary. Countryside views exist to the north and north-east. Existing residential development lies to the south-west. The southern boundary is the edge of the highway at The Length itself. Three Grade II listed buildings lie either side of the Property: Chalk Garden to the south-east, and Walmer Cottage and Bramble Cottage to the north-west. Numerous other listed buildings lie further to the north-west, including the Grade I listed Church of Saint Nicholas.

Planning and Proposed DevelopmentThe site benefits from outline planning permission for the erection of up to 25 houses with all matters reserved, granted by Thanet District Council on 29 May 2018 (Ref: OL/TH/17/1342). The consent is subject to 24 conditions, all of which are considered to be reasonable for a development of this nature. In particular we would highlight the following requirements:

• A minimum of 15% of housing to lifetime home and wheelchair standards (condition 5);

• No less than 70% of the total number of dwellings shall be dwellings of two or more bedrooms (condition 7);

• A proposed footpath to the site’s frontage and upgrade to an existing bus stop to the south east of the site (condition 9);

• The reserved matters applications are to be in accordance with a specified parameters plan (condition 24).
