Leading housebuilder Redrow has secured planning consent for 231 new homes as part of the first phase of its latest development at Abbey Creek, located in Faversham.
The 31-acre site will initially provide 231 two three and four-bedroom homes from Redrow’s award-winning Heritage Collection and forms part of Redrow’s wider commitment to develop thriving communities in Kent. The proposal for Phase 2 will include plans for a further 60 homes.
The new homes will embody Redrow’s ‘fabric first’ approach, producing homes that are well insulated and energy efficient, giving customers the opportunity to live more sustainably, whilst reducing the running cost of their home.
Affordable housing will be part of the new development, with 35% of the homes built dedicated to this purpose.
This latest phase of homes represents Redrow’s third development in Swale, following Regent Quay and Amber Fields, both based in Sittingbourne.
Josephine Baker, head of planning at Redrow South East region, said: “This latest planning approval represents an exciting milestone for Redrow in North Kent, forming part of our wider delivery of homes and amenities across the county.
“Faversham is a charming market town with a lot to offer, appealing to buyers seeking a home in commutable distance to London, alongside great connectivity to the Kent coast and access to a historic town centre buzzing with a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. We look forward to starting work on site and launching homes for sale in due course.”
The development is located south of Faversham town centre and less than a 10 min walk to the train station, with direct trains to London St Pancras International taking just over an hour. The trendy seaside towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay are approximately 20 minutes by car, as is Canterbury.
