What land with planning permission we want near Margate

For consented land around Margate, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Margate lies about 38 miles east of Maidstone in Kent. We also cover Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Deal and the villages between them.

  • Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
  • Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
  • Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
  • Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build

Nutrient neutrality advice has affected the Stour catchment around Canterbury and Ashford because of the protected Stodmarsh wetlands. High Speed 1 stations and the M2, M20 and A2 corridors are a focus for growth, while coastal flood risk matters on the Thames and Swale estuaries and Romney Marsh.

What usually makes or breaks it

Time limit

Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.

Planning obligations

Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.

Scheme design

Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.

Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.

Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 162 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
