Planning permission (reference F/TH/26/0628) is expected to be approved by the Planning Committee on 14 October 2026. The contract requires sensitive and timely delivery, with a target construction timeline of approximately 12 months.

Interested contractors should review the planning application details via the Council's planning portal and submit tenders through the Kent Business Portal.
