Redrow acquires first site in Deal

We have acquired our first site just outside of Deal, one of Kent’s most popular seaside towns.

The 13.8-acre site has outline planning consent and will see 153 homes built. The parcel of land was purchased from Quinn Estates and is located in the north-western edge of Deal.

The proposals currently include 103 homes for private sale, with a further 50 earmarked as affordable homes. The homes will range in size from two- to five-bedrooms, all from our award-winning Heritage Collection, combining the charm and architecture of the early 20th century arts and crafts movement, with spacious and modern interiors.

Through a S106 agreement, we are set to contribute over £1.5m towards local services including education, health provision, waste management and community facilities.

The site includes over two acres of green open space and the on-site skateboard park will be retained. Betteshanger Country Park is also within walking distance of the site which residents will have direct access to, and includes cycle paths, a museum and a café amongst other popular amenities.

Glen Wells, Land Director at our South East division, commented: “Deal has become a hugely popular place to live with its access to the coast and charming high street, brimming with independent shops, cafes and pubs. We look forward to progressing this application and delivering the homes in due course.”

The site is ideally located, with Deal’s town centre just ten minutes away by car, with its array of high-quality amenities, including restaurants, independent shops, pubs, live music venues, a theatre, and good schools. Canterbury, Folkstone and Margate are also within close reach of the town.

Deal train station with direct trains to London in just 1 hour 38 minutes, perfect for buyers commuting into London part-time, can be accessed by car in ten minutes. To find out more about our homes, please visit here.
