The list price of £3,000,000 for the land and planning permission is high. While the plot size and location are desirable, the lack of an existing building or immediate revenue stream means that the price per sqft cannot be accurately compared to other properties. The high price and absence of other pricing data in the area necessitate a lower score. The risk of development costs, market fluctuations, and sale timing should be factored in to justify the list price.

Based on the provided artist’s impressions, the proposed properties appear to be of high-quality construction and design. The images showcase modern and well-maintained homes. However, since these are artist’s renderings and not photos of an existing property, a degree of uncertainty remains about the final outcome. Hence, it isn’t a perfect 10.

The location in Ashford, Kent, offers a balance of rural tranquility and proximity to amenities. While not in a bustling town centre, it benefits from relative closeness to several schools with good Ofsted ratings. The distance to train stations at Headcorn and Pluckley offers reasonable access to other parts of Kent and London. However, the immediate surroundings appear quite rural and may lack immediate convenience. This warrants a score that reflects this balance.

The large plot size of 13,770.27 sqft is a significant advantage, particularly in the UK housing market. It provides ample space for the proposed eight detached homes, and there is room for associated landscaping. This is a substantial amount of land, hence the high score.
