A new hilltop village for Sheppey

A place to belong

The development of Kinford represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the Kent Parks area of the Isle of Sheppey into a thriving, landscape-led, hill-top village, attractive to residents and holidaymakers for generations to come.

Built to belong to the island’s people, its land and its future, this sustainable new settlement which is expected to reach or surpass £142m in development costs, will draw on the site’s existing holiday heritage and stunning coastal setting to create a distinctive and enduring place that supports healthy lifestyles, encourages social connections and delivers long-term economic benefits.

Bringing together thoughtfully designed homes, shared central amenities and beautifully landscaped green spaces, Kinford will be a place where people of all ages can breathe out, live well and feel part of a flourishing new community.

Much more than just another housing development, this new village is not a distant ambition or an abstract proposal. It’s a carefully planned, fully funded and commercially viable commitment to Sheppey’s long-term prosperity and is designed to be created quickly, subject to local authority approval.
