A Knaresborough house builder has partnered with a national housing association to build 449 homes.
Ilke Homes has announced the partnership with The Riverside Group, which currently oversees more than 75,000 homes across England and Scotland.
The company is working with the housing association to finalise plans for the homes at a 21-acre site in Kent.
The homes will be a mix of houses and apartments and will be manufactured at Ilke Homes' factory in Knaresborough.
Subject to planning approval from Thanet District Council, the company hopes to start work at the site in 2024.
Tom Heathcote, executive director of development at ilke Homes, said:
“ilke Homes continues to partner with some of the country’s most well-known housing associations, largely in part to our ability to deliver high quality, energy-efficient homes quickly. The Riverside Group, as part of its adopted ESG strategies, has acknowledged the increasing importance of sustainability and our partnership will help future-proof their investment from rapidly changing building regulations and government guidelines.
“We look forward to working with both local planning officials and other stakeholders to progress the proposals through planning to deliver a truly sustainable and well-designed community that will be providing much-needed, high-quality housing for the area.”
