New proposals have emerged for the Coneybeare Site
Ashford Borough Council are consulting on revised proposals for the site between Torrington Road and Eastmead Avenue. The west of the site was previously used as allotments and the east for the light industrial premises of Coneybeare & Company.
The Council consulted on a proposal for the site in 2022 but have now produced revised proposals including 16 apartments and 12 houses plus a community hub for a ‘men-in-sheds’ organisation. The commercial element of the previous scheme has been omitted and open space element extended.
A concern that has long restricted the development of the site is poor access. This previously being limited to the Coneybeare access from Torrington Road and a narrow passage at the east end of Eastmead Avenue. The new proposal shows the main access across the site of Eastmead House, previously the premises of Alpha Blinds.
