Kings Hill has embraced its cultural heritage, The Control Tower and other carefully conserved treasures and, whilst its thriving community enjoys living in the present, its custodians continually review and refine its social and physical infrastructure, so that it continues to be a special place for generations to come.
It’s easy to pop to the local shops by car, bike or on foot thanks to practical parking, cycle lanes, greenways and footpaths leading to the heart of the of the village. With two major supermarket chains and a range of smaller shops, pub, restaurants and healthcare facilities, all of life’s everyday essentials are nearby.
The development of this community can best be described as organic. It is still in progress, and development partners Liberty Property Trust and Kent County Council hope it will continue to be somewhere that those who have landed here thrive.
This sense of the past, present and future is a currency that developers and custodians of new communities must embrace and to do so they must take a long-term perspective.
That currency will change over time and a flexible approach is important. As property investors and developers, Liberty Property Trust believes that there is always an opportunity to raise the bar: to be sensitive to the changing needs of people, to ensure the built environment is supportive of the social interaction it makes possible and, most importantly, remains relevant to the community. It’s about the execution – yes, a brick is a brick: but, good design, is how you place it.
