Overview

Ebbsfleet Green is a significant development by Redrow, featuring approximately 950 new homes alongside retail, leisure, and commercial spaces. The development is intended to foster a well-connected, high-quality urban neighbourhood with a strong sense of place and community.

The masterplan for the site includes a mix of private sale, shared ownership, and private rental sector (PRS) housing, supported by essential infrastructure such as education, hospitality, and recreational amenities.

District Centre: The neighbourhood includes a local district centre, designed to provide a range of everyday services and amenities to residents.

Employment and Commercial Space: The masterplan includes allocations for retail and commercial employment uses, supporting local job creation and helping reduce the need for commuting.
