Henley Investments has submitted an application for the first phase of the mixed-use district centre at Ebbsfleet Garden City in Kent, UK.
The proposals include 81 affordable homes, a nursery, gym, extensive public realm and a new 30,000 sq ft Morrisons supermrket. This first phase will have a gross development value of £32 mln, while the whole district centre will realise £150 mln.
As part of the plans, national supermarket Morrisons, has entered into an agreement that will see it occupy the site on a 20-year lease as anchor to the district centre.
Warwick Hunter, managing director for development and asset management at Henley, said: ‘This is a fantastic achievement by the team, to unlock the complex District Centre and to secure Morrisons at Ebbsfleet will be a major boost to the area. This element of the Masterplan will provide the social heart to the place. Henley is now bringing forward a state-of-the-art community hub building, a new high street and over 500 residential dwellings as part of the district centre.’
As master developer of the entire quarry site, Henley Camland is enabling the development of over 6,000 homes and a 1,200 pupil education campus.
