Park Farm, Ashford

Our involvement in this new community development in the south east sector of Ashford has extended over a 15-year period, with more than 2000 homes completed and a further 750 recently approved through the Local Plan process.

We prepared all the transportation and drainage assessments needed to secure planning permission, devised services and drainage strategies for the site, which lies in the flood plain of the River Stour, designed the highway network, negotiated approvals and coordinated infrastructure within the framework of the master plan.

The new infrastructure to serve Park Farm included a major upgrading of a junction with the M20 motorway, a rail halt, a new access roundabout on a trunk road and the internal network of roads, footpaths and cycleways required to support the homes and community facilities, including a local centre, school and superstore.

Park Farm exemplifies our ability to design and deliver the infrastructure needed to serve large community developments, progressing them through initial assessment and the Local Plan process to phased completion over time.
