Betteshanger Park
Betteshanger Park Business Development Opportunities
Betteshanger Colliery closed in 1989,
leaving 120 hectares for comprehensive redevelopment for a range of
new uses, including 22,300 sqm of quality employment space and a
community country park.
Location
Betteshanger Park is located in East Kent,
between Dover, Canterbury and Ramsgate and is reached from London
via the M2/A2 link. The site has direct access from the A258
between Deal and Sandwich.
Timescale
Planning consent was granted in February
2003 and detailed designs have been progressed to enable the first
landscape works in the community park to commence during the summer
of 2003. Infrastructure works have started and comprehensive
redevelopment will be completed by mid 2005. By then a substantial
new landscape will have been created which will enhance and
complement the new development.
New Business Park
The aim of Betteshanger is to accommodate a
range of business types within a high quality business park
environment, managed sustainably for long term success.
The proposals are for:
- High quality single storey commercial floorspace for production
or storage uses
- 'Flex' buildings (part office space, part
commercial/production)
- Multi-let office buildings forming part of an Innovation
Centre
- Single occupier office buildings for small to medium sized
companies
- A prestigious 'headquarters' type office building in a
specially prepared and landscaped location
