Humber’s Mill, Margate

Humber’s Mill is a strategic site for circa +1,500 homes, a school, and significant green infrastructure located within Margate. It is an allocated site within the Thanet Local Plan, identified as part of the long-term strategic growth of the district. The site adjoins a cemetery, a listed farmhouse, and new development. It is near Westwood Cross. A historic bridleway ‘Half Mile Ride’ extends through it, connecting to the wider landscape to the west. Working closely with the ecologists and drainage teams, we are creating a network of biodiverse green spaces for nature to thrive and existing and new residents to enjoy.

EDLA have been appointed to provide landscape planning advice and undertake the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) and landscape design proposing new strategic green infrastructure including a country park, connected footpaths, and cycleways, play and allotments. Working with the ecologist, the scheme achieves 10% BNG.

The scheme is submitted to planning and awaiting determination.
