Chartway, in collaboration with Hyde, are delighted to announce the acquisition of a 6-hectare site at Swanstree Avenue, Sittingbourne, Kent for the delivery of 135 new homes.

The development reflects the commitment between Chartway, Hyde, Homes England and Swale Borough Council to deliver much-needed sustainable, community-focused housing.

The site, which benefits from outline planning permission, is set to be transformed into a new sustainable community with the ambition of delivering 135 EPC A affordable homes.

This exciting partnership project will feature a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership homes, designed to complement the local area while addressing the need for high-quality housing in Sittingbourne.

Chartway will now begin work on the Reserved Matters Planning Application, targeted for submission in Q2 2025, with construction anticipated to commence in Q1 2026.

This project continues the existing partnership between Chartway and Hyde, during which the two businesses have successfully delivered a number of housing developments across Kent. The relationship is founded on a mutual vision for creating sustainable and accessible homes that benefit local communities and blend seamlessly into the surrounding area.

As part of the delivery plan, there is a focus to work with local small businesses and enterprises to help with the development of the new homes and create real social value impact.

“We’re excited to be partnering with Hyde on Swanstree Avenue to deliver much-needed affordable homes in Sittingbourne while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and community-centric design. Thank you to all the teams involved in working hard to bring this project forward and we’re looking forward to working closely with the Hyde team, Homes England, Swale Council and the local community to bring this vision to life.”

Steven Morrice, Development and Sales Director at Hyde:

“We’re delighted to announce this acquisition – delivering much needed affordable housing in a great location. Hyde, along with Chartway, will be delivering much needed homes and turning it into a vibrant neighbourhood.

“I’m pleased that 100% of these high-quality homes here are going to be affordable. Having a safe, warm and comfortable home is so important and is still a challenge for so many. I’m looking forward to working together to build a community that everyone can be proud of.”
