Introduction
Dandara is bringing forward proposals for development of land at Badsell Farm, Paddock Wood and East Capel.
The site is allocated in the emerging Borough Local Plan as part of the planned strategic growth around Paddock Wood, including land in East Capel. Dandara’s Site forms the South Western parcel. The proposed growth around Paddock Wood aims to provide not only new homes but also associated infrastructure, facilities and green space.
The plans include a health and wellbeing hub, open green space, play space and equipped children’s play alongside new walking and cycling routes to increase connectivity.
