MEMBERS DIRECTORY 2017

The Kent Developers Group (KDG) is a group of organisations actively involved with the delivery of quality sustainable development in Kent and Medway. We aim to represent all developers in Kent: commercial and residential, large and small, private companies, registered social landlords, public bodies and owners, agents, planners, construction companies, etc. The KDG is readily accepted as a trustworthy and proactive body, providing advice and guidance to Kent County Council, the Districts, Government and associated bodies. Committed to making a difference and passionate about the Kent growth agenda, in conjunction with the other related groups across Kent and Medway our aim is to encourage effective working relationships and trust between the private and public sectors to bring about deliverable, high quality and sustainable development, a functional property market, and growth in jobs and housing. We work to address strategic issues affecting Kent and Medway, engaging with major public sector organisations such as DCLG, Highways England, the Environment Agency and Natural England.

The benefits of being a member of The KDG are:

An effective communication channel between the private and public sectors to remove barriers to growth and bring about deliverable development and a functional property market.

The opportunity to be part of The KDG/KCC partnership to deliver future prosperity to Kent within the Government’s localism agenda and structures.

Regular access to senior officers and Members at Kent County Council and Kent Planning Officers Group, to promote working together more closely and influence how Kent’s planning system works.

The KDG is an official consultee on many issues, such as Kent Transport Strategy, Section 106 frameworks, Kent Housing Strategy and Kent parking standards and the Group makes regular representations on these and other issues.

Members have the opportunity to discuss strategic issues and lobby face to face major public sector organisations such as Kent County Council, the Highways Agency and the Environment Agency.

Quarterly well attended meetings, providing an excellent opportunity for networking and presentations on the Growth agenda, infrastructure and strategic improvements, responding to consultation as a group, planning, the environment, sustainability and design, as well as learning from other developers’ experiences and exchanging useful contacts.

Working and responding as a group ensures that The Kent Developers Group is a powerful, well organised and trusted body that can really make a difference to the way Kent responds to their challenges and addresses the concerns of the commercial and residential development industry
