The new proposals
The new proposals we will be showcasing at this second exhibition reflect that we are:
- Switching from an onsite sports pitch to providing a financial contribution to the recreation ground and its existing facilities
- Offering the local NHS a space on site or financial contribution to support existing healthcare provision
- Working with TfL on public transport options to support the development
- Investing in surface water and drainage infrastructure
The new homes:
What will the new homes look like?
- We are proposing 325 new homes with a traditional feel,
suitably sized for families, and sensitively-designed to blend
with the existing character of St Mary Cray - 50% of the new homes will be affordable, and we are working
with the Council to firm up the exact offering including
affordable rent and shared ownership
Consider the proposals and let us know your views
We would like to hear your views on our proposals for a new community sports and leisure centre for St Mary Cray, alongside family homes.

New family homes and a community hub for St Mary Cray
Lands Improvement Holdings is consulting with local residents on concept plans for a new community-focused development on land south of Crockenhill Road in St Mary Cray.
We are in the early stages of developing the proposals and we would welcome your feedback.
The plans include affordable, family homes, alongside community facilities and sports pitches.
As a master developer, our focus is not just on delivering developments, but on creating communities. We are considering how the site can integrate with the existing community, including how it could act as an extension of St Mary Cray.
We recognise the importance of delivering necessary infrastructure alongside new high-quality homes. Our proposals include creating new walkways, paths and playgrounds as part of the site, whilst maintaining all existing rights of way.
Lands Improvement is a strategic land development company operating throughout the UK. Our history can be traced back to 1853; being founded to provide capital assistance to farmers. Today, we work to create sustainable new communities and high–quality developments through long term planning promotion and early delivery of infrastructure. Our portfolio consists of 5,000 acres of land across the UK – a total of 22 assets at stages from planning promotion to land sales.
One of the things that sets us apart from our competitors is the time spent and interest we take in engagement with local communities, planning officers, and politicians to deliver schemes which are not just policy led, but people led too. This approach contributes to well thought out places that endure for both the new and existing communities. We look forward to working with the Council and other stakeholders on the next steps of the journey for St Mary Cray.
