I have applied for British passport at the same time as my citizenship application. This is found on kent.gov.uk:

Passport application service
We are one of five pathfinder authorities offering customers a new service that allows you to apply for a passport at the same time as your citizenship application. Currently, once your citizenship application has been processed and you have attended a ceremony, you would then have to make a separate application for your passport which can take another 6 weeks. If you choose our new service you won't have to make a separate application and your passport will be sent to you after your citizenship ceremony.

Note from CR001 : I have edited your post to include this for the benefit of other members and to avoid non-timeline posts asking you questions.
