A new Garden City has been proposed by the Chancellor George Osborne for Ebbsfleet in Kent which could receive up to £200m of public investment.

The new development would be located around the high speed rail station in Ebbsfleet in Kent, only 19 minutes from Central London, and would provide up to 15,000 new homes based on existing brownfield land.

The area has long been identified as having great development potential, but investment and progress have been stalled for decades, the Government proposed to create a powerful new body - similar to what happened in Docklands in the 1980s - to drive and promote the area, co-ordinate investment from government and solve the issues that have held back development.

The proposed development at Ebbsfleet will develop so called brownfield land - including former industrial sites and a former quarry.
