The affordable housing developments on this page are either in the process of being built or have planning permission to be built.
They form part of our commitment to deliver affordable homes across the district. The provision of new affordable housing is a key element of the Government’s plan to end the housing crisis, tackle homelessness and provide aspiring homeowners with a step onto the housing ladder.
Military Road, Dover
The Military Road site is currently under construction and will eventually provide eight homes consisting of six 1-bed flats and two 2-bed flats, one of which will be wheelchair accessible.
The new homes will be let at social rent. Construction commenced on site in February 2025 and the build is being supported by Homes England grant funding.
You can read the plans in full on our planning pages by using reference DOV23/00076.
Poulton Close, Dover
This site is owned by us and is being developed for new council housing. A planning application has been approved for 24 studios and 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments, including some that are designed for people with mobility requirements.
The new homes will be let at social rents and will provide interim housing for local people facing homelessness.
We have been successful in attracting support funding from the Government's Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLRF2) and One Public Estate programme to carry out remediation work on the site.
Measures have been put in place to protect the ecology of the site in advance of the work.
