National and award-winning house builder, St. Modwen Homes, has submitted a planning application to Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council to start building Orchard Mill, a brand new housing development in Ditton.
Orchard Mill, formerly known as Ditton Edge, will be located just 4.6 miles away from the popular town of Maidstone, and St. Modwen Homes is keen to fit into the surrounding area by creating a brand-new and thriving community.
The development will become home to a variety of 300 properties, with a range of 1,2,3,4 and 5-bedroom homes on the cards – making it an absolute must-see for those looking to find their dream home in the area.
There are also plans underway to ensure Orchard Mill is a local haven to existing and future residents, with green spaces and play facilities sure to appeal to all. Being new to the area, St. Modwen Homes is excited to get started on this project, with the hopes of building a thriving community within the Orchard Mill development.
With that in mind, St. Modwen Homes will be holding an exhibition on Wednesday 23rd March from 4.00pm to 8.00pm for local residents and key stakeholders, to give them the chance to meet the developer and view the proposals. Working closely with local residents is a key priority for St. Modwen Homes, in order to make sure Orchard Mill has a positive effect on the area.
Jeremy Attwater, Regional Managing Director South at St. Modwen Homes, said: “We are delighted to have submitted our planning for Orchard Mill, and look forward to getting started on the construction. We are proud to announce that the development will offer homebuyers a varied selection of modern, open-plan homes with a range of different options available to suit everyone.”
“This milestone marks an important step on our journey in Ditton. For us, it’s more than just building new homes because we care about the surrounding areas and the communities we create. We can’t wait to see homeowners begin their journeys at Orchard Mill.”
Ideally located in a stunning area, this development will be popular amongst commuters. With easy access to the M20 from junctions 5 or 4 – as well as being close to the A20 - Orchard Mill will offer the best of both worlds to its residents. Local amenities are close by too, with the town of West Malling located just 1.8 miles away.
