Since March, 106 new affordable homes have begun handover, representing significant progress in providing high-quality, sustainable housing. 
 
The development offers a diverse range of homes, from two-bedroom flats to four-bedroom family houses. Most feature EPC A ratings, solar panels, air-source heat pumps, and electric vehicle chargers, ensuring lower carbon footprints and long-term durability.
 
Woodland Place is designed to foster a strong sense of community from the outset. Key features include: 

  • Two new play parks 

  • Conservation of a WWII pillbox to preserve local heritage 

  • Social value support from Penenden Heath Developments Limited, our contracting partner, to fund welcome events and provide early assistance for residents experiencing financial hardship 

Anabel Palmer, our Executive Director of Property Development and Partnerships, adds: “It’s fantastic to see residents moving into their new homes at Woodland Place. These 106 new homes reflect our ongoing commitment to providing affordable, energy-efficient places for people to live, especially at a time of real housing pressure across Kent. We’re really excited to welcome our residents and see this new community take shape.”
