This site is owned by the Council, and is being developed for new Council housing. A planning application has been approved for 24 studio, one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom apartments including some that are designed for people with mobility requirements.
The new homes will be let at social rents and will provide interim housing for local people facing homelessness. The project forms part of the Council’s commitment to develop its own interim housing to reduce the reliance on B&B accommodation.
Dover District Council has been successful in attracting support funding from the UK Government's Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLRF2) and One Public Estate programme to carry out remediation work on the site which is due to start in Sept/Oct 2024.
Measures have been put in place to protect the ecology of the site in advance of the work.
