Public consultation over 500 homes and secondary school plan for Westwood Village phase two

Westwood Village phase 2 consultation

A public consultation will be held next week over plans for a 500 home build in phase two of the Westwood Village project.

The scheme forms part of 1,400 homes on the Westwood Village site. Phase one, submitted by Greenacre (Thanet) Ltd  for 900 homes, gained planning permission in 2020.

The Westwood Village phase one project to build 900  homes, a primary school, shops, hotel and pubs is being phased over 10 years.

Rooksmead Residential is in the process of preparing a planning application for the remaining 500 homes and a 6FE secondary school on land South of Manston Court Road and west of Haine Road, Margate.

The plan also includes open space and landscaping and infrastructure work with a new spine road. There will be public transport links and junction improvement at A256 Haine Road/New Haine Road and Star Lane/Haine Road (including a dual lane link between them).

Rooksmead intend to submit the outline application to Thanet council next month with a decision anticipated by April 2024.

A public event to explain the plans will be held at Manston Village Hall in Preston Road on October 18 from 3.30pm to 7.30pm.
