Upon being introduced to the scheme Rooksmead soon identified that the current planning consent was not appropriate for the local housing demand. The scheme was replanned to meet market demand for first time buyers and family starter homes, especially on a social housing basis.

The site was already bustling with character with a nearby wooded area (of which there are few in this part of Kent)–a woodland management plan was implemented to further enhance this asset.

Additional ecological enhancements included wildlife corridors and nature ponds. It was also agreed the site would be delivered on an all-affordable housing basis, with Town and Country Housing Association overseeing the scheme.
