Ebbsfleet to receive 133 carbon reducing homes

A property development company named Redrow has made plans for the construction of 133 homes in the garden city of Ebbsfleet, which are predicted to be the most carbon reducing properties built in the modern new town and will bring the total number of approved properties to 783.

Going into more detail, out of the aforementioned 133 homes that are planned for construction in Ebbsfleet a total of 51 homes will be classified as affordable housing, with 37 falling under the label of affordable rent and a further 14 will fall under shared ownership.

These homes, which have been described as carbon reducing, can be thought of as sustainable on account of them including solar panels, sustainable drainage, and electric vehicle charging points as well as improved air tightness, high performance building fabrics, high performance glazing, and low energy lighting.

The Chief Planning Officer with the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, Mark Pullin stated: “The approval of the one, two, three and four bedroom homes which includes affordable housing is a significant milestone for Ebbsfleet Green which now will only have one phase left for our planning committee to decide on. The Redrow site has shown how good quality housing can be developed at pace here in Ebbsfleet Garden City.”

The Planning Director at Redrow South East, David Banfield added: “It is fantastic to have the next phase of Ebbsfleet Green approved, bringing us one step closer to delivering the vision we set out for the redevelopment of the site.

“The new homes are being delivered alongside vital community facilities, including the already open Co-op food store, pub and hotel. The Ebbsfleet Green community is growing every day as more people move into their new home.”

Population wise, Ebbsfleet is home to more than 4,500 people accommodated within approximately 2,000 properties and is a very health orientated community, containing a 3G football pitch, tennis courts, community allotments, and play areas.
