About

Folkestone and Hythe District Council is seeking a lead design team to redevelop Woodland Cottages in Lyminge by demolishing the existing Airey houses and delivering new affordable rental homes, with initial viability indicating a minimum of 17 new dwellings and an opportunity to increase site density; early and ongoing engagement with the Planning Authority is required and the Local Authority Planning Department has advised the design should reflect a Kent/Folkestone rural vernacular. The contract is anticipated to start in September 2026 and is estimated to run for about four years to complete RIBA stages 1–6, with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months.
