Initially very much part of Sandgateit then became absorbed into Folkestoneand Cheriton for administrative purposes,before more recently becoming part ofSandgate Parish again.Over time the gorse has been replacedby a widely diverse residential area witha distinctive open-plan style. The areais characterised by townhouses withbungalows, blocks of flats and, morerecently, terraces of executive style housesadding to a diverse mix of housing design.The community here is now well-establishedwith a small hub of shops arrangedcentrally around two sides of a large rathernondescript car park where residents andshoppers can park and a network of greenspaces, all of which give this Area a selfcontainedcharacter within the wider parish.Given the level of recent additionaldevelopment in Enbrook Valley urgentconsiderations should be given to theupgrading of the Digby Roadcommercial area.The Enbrook valley is integral to thelandscape of the Parish and is linked toSandgate High Street and seafront by theattractively landscaped Enbrook Park withits network of recently upgraded footpaths,offering much to visitors and newcomersto the area, and classified as a LocalLandscape Area by the Local planningAuthority.22
