Chapel Down has been granted planning consent for the development of its Curious Brewery, in Ashford, Kent.

Ashford Borough Council has given the green light to the project on a 1.6 acre site in Ashford town centre.

The project is being funded by Chapel Down’s £1.7m crowdfund for its beer and cider arm.

Chief executive Frazer Thompson said: “We are delighted that we now have planning consent for the development of the Curious Brewery in Ashford. Situated next to the International station and just 38 minutes from Kings Cross, the Curious Brewery will be an icon for Ashford, for Kent and for contemporary British brewing. We are looking forward to creating something exciting and exceptional.”
