Developer U+I has gained planning for 310 new homes on a disused former paper mill site marking a gateway to Maidstone town centre.
The planned buildings will vary in height from 8-18 storeys. They have been designed by Guy Hollaway Architect and will boast rooftop allotments.
The Royal Engineers Road plans include 220 flats, which could be delivered as build to rent or speculative homes for sale.
Richard Upton, Deputy Chief Executive of U+I said: “The project team has worked hard over the past year to develop a creative and compelling vison for Royal Engineers Road.”
“The plans will bring forward a high quality residential-led scheme, which with the inclusion of a build to rent element, providing local residents with greater choice.”
The project is one of four U+I developments within London City Region ‘Huburbs’ and within an hour’s commute of central London.
