A large new-build community
Built out by developer Crest Nicholson on a former landfill site, Kilnwood Vale is planned around several thousand new homes, along with a primary school, open space and its own railway station.
New-build garages from the outset
Because almost every home here was built as part of the same recent development, garages in Kilnwood Vale are overwhelmingly modern integral or attached single garages, built to current standards from the start.
Council and distance
Kilnwood Vale sits within the Horsham district, so Horsham District Council is the planning authority here too, around 4.8 miles from Horsham town centre.
