Agreement between councils and developer to scrap previous planning deal kickstarts 1,500-home first phase of stalled project
Land Securities鈥� stalled project at Eastern Quarry in Ebbsfleet has restarted after an agreement between the local authorities and the developer saw elements of the previous Section 106 planning deal scrapped.
Under the new deal, Land Securities鈥� contribution to local road improvements has been cut from 拢40m to 拢25m, paid to Kent, Dartford and Gravesham councils, in installments, which has enabled the first phase of the development, comprising 1,500 homes, to go ahead.
Under the original planning agreement, the full 拢40m had to paid up front.
When fully developed the Eastern Quarry scheme will comprise 22,600 homes.
