PLANS have been revealed for a multi-million transformation of a medieval English town in Kent.
The redevelopment scheme includes the building of 277 new homes, a leisure centre and a budget hotel.
The area that can expect to see this swanky new upgrade is a council-owned site in Tonbridge.
According to KentLive, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council want to enhance the area, which is east of the town’s high street, and have “much-needed homes” built.
The new leisure centre will also replace the pre-existing Angel Centre, and will be built in a new location in Sovereign Way.
The council hopes that the leisure centre will become a “landmark destination.”
Funding is also reportedly already being in place.
Sovereign Way north will also see the building of 122 of the new proposed homes, along with a potential hotel and an NHS healthcare facility.
A further 56 homes are to be built at the former Angel Centre, and up to 99 more at Angel West.
This information can be found in the council’s 69-page masterplan
This masterplan reveals hopes to make more of the River Medway, which it acknowledged as a big part of the town’s identity.
The plan, which has been made available to the public, also details the addition of a linear shaped river park, in a bid to “transform the south bank into a green corridor for walking, cycling and socialising.”
These additions to the medieval town aim “to invite more people to call Tonbridge home,” “energise the high street” and “rediscover the relationship between the town, the river, and its open spaces.”
There will be a public consultation on the proposal which will go before the cabinet on Monday, June 30.
This is expected to launch from the middle of next month, for six weeks.
KentLive also reported that during the summer, a more detailed programme of works will be created, which will include where the council could bid for funds.
The public is also currently being asked what it would want to see at the new leisure centre, as part of a separate consultation.
Following public consultation and other work, the masterplan will return to cabinet for adoption in October.
Three of the documents for Monday’s meeting can not be viewed by the public, with the council stating this is because they are related to the financial or businesses affairs of a person.
