  • Overview

    Taylor Wimpey at Castle Hill, Ebbsfleet

    We are well underway with detailed plans for a new development of 539 high-quality homes at Castle Hill, Eastern Quarry, Ebbsfleet, after exchanging contracts to purchase parcels 4, 5 and 6 at the site from Land Securities.

    Once complete, Castle Hill will comprise 1,500 homes set around new public open space, a neighbourhood centre, a two-form entry primary school and community facilities – and is one of three planned modern villages at the Eastern Quarry development in Ebbsfleet.

    Eastern Quarry has outline planning permission for 6,250 homes and the wider Ebbsfleet Garden City project is envisaged to deliver more than 15,000 new homes.

    Clarion Housing Group will also deliver a proportion of affordable homes at Castle Hill for local people in housing need.

    Land Securities has been granted planning permission for the primary school at Castle Hill, which will be called Cherry Orchard Primary Academy and operated by the Leigh Academies Trust. Construction is at an advanced stage with the school due to open to new students in September 2017.

    In order to allow local residents and key stakeholders the opportunity to find out more about our emerging proposals, we held a public exhibition at The Observatory on Thursday 21st July 2016 between 2pm and 8pm.

    Visitors were able to view our emerging proposals, speak to experts from our project team, ask questions and provide us with their feedback on the scheme. If you would like to view the exhibition boards displayed at the consultation event, please click here.

    Our public consultation period closed on Tuesday 9th August 2016. The comments we received from local residents will help us to refine our emerging plans. The first part of our proposals: 69 x 1 and 2 bedroom apartments on land known as 'the triangle' was approved by the Ebbsfleet Corporation on 21 September 2016.

    Detailed planning permission for a total of 207 dwellings is now in place and development has commenced. A detailed planning application for our remaining 332 dwellings was submitted in August 2017.

  • About the site

    The development site

    Our proposed site is situated to the eastern edge of the wider Eastern Quarry development, located to the south of both Castle Hill Road and existing phases by Persimmon Homes and Ward Homes at Castle Hill.

    Eastern Quarry lies between the A2 to the south and the River Thames to the north, and between Dartford to the west and Gravesend to the east.

    Immediately to the west is Bluewater Shopping Centre, while close to the north east lies Ebbsfleet International railway station.

    Ground re-profiling at Eastern Quarry has already taken place with sustainable drainage features established, including a lake to the south of the site.
