Wingham

Dandara entered an option agreement on this site in 2021 and following successful promotion to the Dover District Council (DDC) local plan process, achieved draft allocation for c.50 new homes. Dandara continued to promote and support the site with additional technical evidence, which successfully resulted in an allocation within the submission local plan for c.75 new homes.

Through significant engagement with DDC, Dandara gained support for an early planning application (ahead of local plan adoption) and following public exhibition/engagement, Dandara submitted a planning application for 71 new homes, infrastructure, and open space. After working through any comments raised by consultees, this was unanimously approved at Committee in January 2024.

The option exercise process is underway, and Dandara expect the first homes to be occupied in Summer 2025.

Along with the development of 22 affordable homes, Dandara will be contributing more than £1.1m in S106 contributions, helping to fund a range of community infrastructure services within the local area.
