Kent, Surrey & Sussex Introducing the Ashford Super 6
CGI of Brompton’s proposed factory
Following the success of delivering the Big 8 strategically important infrastructure and development projects over eight years with our key private and public sector partners, Ashford Borough Council is now looking to deliver the next transformational developments that will bring even greater prosperity to the area.
Building on the availability of High Speed 1 rail services, great road connectivity to Dover, the Channel Tunnel and London, as well as lower costs compared to the capital and other south east locations, Ashford currently has an inward investment pipeline well in excess of £370m.
The Big 8 projects delivered are M20 Junction10a, Designer Outlet expansion, Ashford College Phase 1, Commercial Quarter, Chilmington Green, Jasmin Vardimon Creative Hub, Ashford Spurs and Elwick Place.
With exciting projects such as the £250m investment and regeneration project at Ashford International Film Studios at Newtown Works and bringing the international folding bike manufacturer Brompton to Ashford reaching major milestones, and with a clear set of priorities in our new corporate plan, we have launched a new campaign using the well- established AshfordFOR brand.
The Newtown Works project will breathe new life into the once-derelict Grade II listed locomotive sheds, with the area being transformed into an international film and TV studios. The ambitious plans also includes educational facilities, a hotel, serviced apartments, 302 homes and commercial units.
The council’s Super 6 projects help us deliver on our priority themes of Green Pioneer, Caring Ashford and Targeted Growth. They will see the evolution of Ashford town centre, the resolution to the nutrient challenges in the river Stour catchment area thereby releasing the ability to permit major new residential developments in the eastern side of the borough, and will support the delivery of the South of Ashford Garden Community, building quality places for people to live.
The International Studios and Brompton will help drive quality jobs, restore historic buildings and provide valuable new public open space. The first of the Super 6 projects to get started is the Ashford College Phase 2 engineering, business and IT facility, which is currently under construction and is due to be delivered by September 2023 in time for the new academic year.
Ashford College Phase 2 extension taking shape
The college’s extension will allow for an additional 200 students to gain the skills needed by the future workforce and the local business community. The Super 6 provides the opportunity to support economic growth, foster new communities, prosperity and improved skills. They are the flagship schemes that highlight all of Ashford’s exciting new projects in the heart of Kent.
