A NEW COMMUNITY FACILITY FOR IWADE ON THE HORIZON

Swale Borough Council recently approved permission for 8 new dwellings within the centre of Iwade following the demolition of the existing village hall.

The Practice had to co-ordinate the different technical inputs related to flood risk, drainage and a foul sewer easement in order to make the most of the development potential of the site. The dwellings will be two storey in scale, with a high quality design sympathetic to the village. The Parish Council are looking to move to a new larger, purpose-built community hall that is proposed for the village under the Land East of Iwade strategic allocation and the relocation from the old site to the new site will take place when the new facility is made available (as part of a strategic allocation of 466 dwellings which Hume Planning are also leading on). The redevelopment of the existing site will therefore deliver 8 new dwellings within the heart of the village in the future and moves the relocation of the parish hall to a new purpose built premises a step closer.
