Ilke plans 94 modular homes in Kent

Modular housing pioneer ilke Homes has secured an 11-acre site in Staplehurst, Kent, for the development of up to 94 modular homes. The development will deliver a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes, 38 of which will be affordable. The scheme will provide significant biodiversity net gain through the provision of open green spaces and pocket parks. A full detailed planning application has been submitted to Maidstone Borough Council and has been validated. Subject to planning, the first factory-built homes will begin to be installed in winter 2023. Tom Heathcote, executive director of development at ilke Homes, said: “As a gas-free scheme, employing the use of ASHP and solar PV technology, ilke Homes is actively helping Maidstone Borough Council, which has declared a climate emergency, reduce carbon emissions associated with the construction and operation of new-build homes.
