Phase 2 will be the streets which stretch from the Tarmac road cutting to College Road in the central part of the development.  It will provide about 156 new houses, including affordable homes.  The new roads will slope down towards the river giving river views. The houses will be two and three storeys. On the north-south roads the houses will be set out in terraces and on the roads going across from Hive Lane to College Lane they will be semi-detached. There will be parking on side driveways and provision for parallel parking on the roads.

Generous tree planting and landscaping will benefit all the streets in Phase 2. The trees along Hive Lane will be large/medium street trees.  Medium sized clear stem trees will be used along the larger residential streets and flowering species along the smaller streets.

College Road currently has a large flint and brick wall which makes up the boundary of the site. Sadly the wall has seen better days and is not structurally strong.  To reflect its nature there will be a continuous building frontage along the road.  The existing flint wall will be re-interpreted as a continuous flint façade at the ground floor level of College Road properties.  Flint will also be embedded into the ground at the front of the properties along the boundary line.  

College Road will be a busy pedestrian link to Northfleet Station with limited car access.  A shared road surface will help the flow of pedestrian and cycle usage.

A “reserved matters” planning application has been submitted to EDC.  Building work on this part of the scheme should be completed by 2024.
