The former golf course has planning permission for 184,000sq ft of accommodation including a 100-unit Integrated Retirement Community.

Inspired Villages, which is owned by insurance giant Legal & General (L&G), said earlier this year that it was “on track” to deliver 5,000 homes through its £500m 15-year joint venture with the pension fund of bank Natwest. 

The Edenbridge site is the 29th site of a planned 34 retirement communities which will provide over 5,000 homes for around 8,000 people.
