We are committed to delivering an ambitious programme of new council housing which will see the highest number of new council homes built in a generation in the Dover district.
One of our aims is to provide at least an average of 200 additional council homes (new builds and acquisitions) each year (800 in total over the term of our Corporate Plan 2023 to 2027).
We also want to support those who would like to own their own home but cannot afford to buy outright by facilitating an increased programme of affordable home ownership schemes.
Residents who are interested in living in any of the new affordable rented properties below must register their interest through our choice based letting system Kent Homechoice.
