The Village Centre of Kings Hill will become the focal point of the development and will feature retail and commercial areas, leisure facilities and housing.

Currently the retail sector is represented by Asda, who opened a medium sized ASDA Fresh supermarket on the site at Easter 2000. Other outlets are due to follow.

A public house has just been completed by Shepherd  Neame and opened in December 2001. The pub has been named "The Spitfire"  to reflect West Malling's historic WWII past, although the airfield was not a  mainstream Spitfire "Battle of Britain" base (some Spitfires did fly out of the airfield during the War).

The original West Malling Airbase control tower lies within the Village Centre. This building is Listed and will be incorporated within the development possibly as a centre-piece in a hotel, restaurant or leisure complex.

The University of Greenwich has recently opened a large facility in the village centre; a medical centre is planned and the village hall will also be located close by (completion December 2001). A nursery school has also opened recently, expanding its previous facilities which were based in nearby temporary buildings.

The housing area will include "affordable" housing as well as property at the other extreme of the price range. The planning concept  incorporates "green lanes"  for pedestrian/cyclist access intersecting vehicular roadways at small squares. Ramps, bollards and speed bumps will restrict traffic speeds and allow both cars and pedestrians to mix with safety, ensuring a "vibrant area with human scale that is both user friendly and accessible by public transport, road, cycle and on foot" (quote Rouse Kent, February 2001).
