Amended ‘reserved matters’ plans have been submitted for phase 2 of the Manston Green development, which hopes to have 785 new homes.
The three-phase plan on agricultural land off Haine Road also includes a primary school, retail, community hall, and public open space.
An outline application for the development of the homes, primary school, retail, community hall and road works was agreed in 2016.
Permission was granted for 220 homes in phase one in October 2019. Phase 2 is for 227 homes and phase 3 is for 324 homes.
The housebuilder was originally proposed to be Barrett Homes but the site is now being developed by Redrow Homes after it bought plots from Cogent Land LLP, which secured the outline consent.
Phase 2 is divided in two by the Manston Road running through the middle of the site. The plan remains similar to the previous plans, with some amendments to the housing mix with a rebalancing of the affordable homes provided and replacement of a number of flats with family homes.
Phase 3 reserved matters submission was submitted on 18 August 2021 and is awaiting a decision.
Planning documents state “The social role includes the provision of 227 homes, including the provision of 30% affordable across the whole of Phase 2, which assist with social mobility and ensure housing to meet the needs of the community is provided.
Other developments in the Haine Road area include a Kentish Projects development for 23 houses, 15 flats and parking on land off Stirling Way, and the 500 property Spitfire Green development from Barratt Homes.
