A Knaresborough house builder has partnered with a national housing association to build 449 homes.

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.
