Socially Sustainable Developments

Watling Gate is an exciting, new build development in Sittingbourne comprising of a 242no. unit residential development for Sanctuary Group, including; 2/3/4Bed houses, apartments, and over 55’s accommodation, for affordable rent, shared ownership and outright sale, all designed to be tenure-blind. The project is Sanctuary’s largest and most ambitious project to date, with funding from Homes England. The site sits on the edge of the Milton Regis Conservation Area, and forms part of Sittingbourne’s Regeneration Masterplan Area. The design is landscape-led and strongly promotes social value through public formal and informal social spaces including a green finger which runs across the site, navigating its challenging topography and connecting to the historic high street; and includes an outdoor amphitheatre. This project was undertaken at RG+P with the GDS director as Project Lead and lead Architect.
