Background
OSG have been working on this phased scheme for a number of years now. It is a large-scale, predominantly residential development on the site of a former industrial estate. The original site masterplan was developed by our client’s previous architectural firm and was granted planning in 2003. The images show the first phase of this which has been constructed with the use of our building regulation and working drawing packages.

Design Improvements
Our revised design pushes parking away from the main street frontages, and creates more courtyard style development areas that reflect the scale of the wider context.
The site incorporates enhanced biodiversity measures as well as a detailed landscape design to work with the surrounding environment. Great consideration has been given to architectural influences from the historic town of Sandwich with a view to creating spaces that have a greater resonance with the site’s historic setting.
Work is due to start on site for Phase 2 in 2024.
