“NOT ONLY DOES THIS DEAL DELIVER HUNDREDS OF MUCH-NEEDED HOMES, IT’S ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS BUILDING A VIBRANT GARDEN COMMUNITY ON LONDON’S DOORSTEP” – KIT MALTHOUSE
ork has started on 598 new homes at Northfleet Embankment, which forms a part of Ebbsfleet Garden City in Kent, following a deal between Homes England and Keepmoat Homes.
Alongside the new homes, 224 of which will be affordable, the project will
include a new primary school, local amenities, open space and a Fastrack bus connection.
Keepmoat Homes will purchase the 11.6 hectare site from Homes England for the development. As part of this, Homes England has undertaken remediation work to prepare the land for developing, and, after working with key stakeholders Gravesham Borough Council and the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, planning permission was granted last year. With work now underway, the first homes are expected to be complete by
May 2020, with the rest of the development to be completed by 2025. To fulfil the deal, Keepmoat has agreed to build the homes at an accelerated rate of over 100 units per year.
Housing Minister Kit Malthouse commented: “Not only does this deal deliver hundreds of much-needed homes, but it’s another step towards building a vibrant garden community on London’s doorstep.”

Including 162 new homes at social rent, this brings the total number of social housing due to be delivered in the area up to over 1,300. The first development is the regeneration of Malt Street, just off the Old Kent Road, where 1,300 new homes, including 83 new social rented homes and 48 intermediate homes in the first phase, have been approved. Overall, the new development will be made up of 11 new buildings from five to 44 storeys, offering 40 per cent affordable housing, with at least a quarter of the housing available for social rent. The Malt Street site at the North end of Old Kent Road is currently mainly used for storage and by Travis Perkins as a builder’s merchant. The application also includes affordable retail space, and contributes to the new Surrey Canal Linear Park as part of the Old Kent Road Masterplan. The second development is on Verney Road, where planning committee members approved (subject to referral to the Mayor of London) a further 338 new homes, including 112 affordable homes made up of 79 social rented and 33 intermediate rent. The development will consist of three buildings at 18, 19 and 24 storeys,
