Land West of Village Road and South of Peter's Village, Rochester
Strategically located land with frontage to the River Medway, and lapsed outline planning permission for residential development, extending in all to some 10.31 acres/ 4.17 hectares, situated in Burham, Kent. The site was granted outline planning consent as a natural extension to Peters Village, however this has now lapsed.
The site does have Flood Zone constraints on its western side, which were considered when planning permission was granted. It is free from Greenbelt, NLAs and, SSSIs and Conservation area designations.
LOCATION: This site is situated to the west of Village Road and south of Peter’s Village, Wouldham, Rochester, Kent ME1 3XU. The north of the site abuts Peters Village, a residential development that was completed in 2024/2025, and the western boundary is adjacent with the River Medway. Agricultural land lies to the east and south of the site.
METHOD OF SALE: The property is offered for sale via Private Treaty. If demand dictates, the agent may set a deadline for Best and Final Offers in the event that significant interest is received.
Unconditional offers only are sought from the vendors.
PLANNING APPLICATION: 21/01939/OAEA
In January 2023 an outline planning application for 47 dwellings was granted under reference 21/01939/OAEA, although this application has since lapsed as of January 2026. The scheme included a new retaining wall to be built and ground levels to be made up, as well as landscaping, drainage, highway works and a riverside walk. The site is currently used for the storage of two large chalk heaps. This chalk was excavated from the Peter’s Village development site and is available to the buyer to build up ground levels, a requirement of the lapsed consent.
The lapsed consent required S106 financial contributions to be made for open space, education and community facilities, as well as a 30-year management of biodiversity offset land. For further details, please refer to TMBC planning application reference: 21/01939/OAEA, which includes the indicative layout plan. Further documentation may be made available, subject to agreement from third party contractors.
