West Kent and Chartway partner up to deliver Manston homes

West Kent Housing Association has entered a new partnership project with Chartway Partnerships Group to develop 27 new homes in Manston.The Manston Gardens development, on the outskirts of the coastal town of Ramsgate in Kent, will provide a range of housing options, West Kent says, including shared ownership and affordable rent homes.Prospective residents can choose from one- and two-bedroom apartments, and two- and three-bedroom houses, with the first completions anticipated late Spring 2024.Situated on a former allotment, the development aligns with the approved Manston Green initiative, contributing to the broader expansion of Manston and adding to the 785 new homes for the area.On completion, Manston Gardens will provide new public gardens and green spaces surrounded by a total of 88 new homes, 61 of which will be private sale homes from Westerhill Homes by Chartway.Adam Jenner, West Kent’s head of property development, said: “This development poses a great opportunity to work again with one of South East England’s leading housebuilders, and for us to continue to grow our homes in management in Thanet. We have built a strong relationship with Thanet District Council in recent years and look forward to delivering quality new homes with Chartway.”Gavin Hunt, COO at Chartway Partnerships Group, added: “We are delighted to be building on our established relationship with West Kent Housing Association, who have an exceptional reputation for providing quality homes and community services. Together, we are committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive community at Manston Gardens which supports the Chartway vision to deliver new homes for everyone.”Read next: New homes for Huyton aim to tackle homelessnessAre you a social housing professional?
