Final go-ahead for LandSecs’ Ebbsfleet plans

  Land Securities’ plans for Station Quarter North, a 2.6m sq ft development in the Kent Thames Gateway, have got the final go-ahead from Dartford council.   The mixed-use scheme comprises 2m sq ft of offices, 600,000 sq ft of shops, hotel, and leisure space, and 930 new homes.   Land Securities wants the area to become an important commercial hub for the 17m sq ft Ebbsfleet Valley regeneration project, anchored by Ebbsfleet International station.   A masterplan for the area to the east of Station Quarter North, known as Northfleet Rise, has now been submitted to Gravesham council and is awaiting determination.     patrick.clift@rbi.co.uk
