Supporting the growth vision for Canterbury district and the wider region
The East Kent Coastal Corridor stretches from Canterbury to Sandwich, a dynamic region brimming with investment opportunities and innovation.
The A299 is the main route that links key research and business locations in Canterbury district with Discovery Park in Sandwich, part of neighbouring Dover district and one of the leading science campuses in Europe.
It is the common thread that brings together one of the most dynamic and diverse business locations in the South East of England tapped into the sustainable, green energy economy championed by the UK government and being delivered right here.
Anchored in Canterbury district by key developments such as Altira Park and thriving commercial zones in Whitstable and Herne Bay, the East Kent Coastal Corridor is a hub for forward-thinking businesses and investors.
Sustainability is a growing driver for investment along the route: from cutting-edge energy production to the flourishing fruit-growing industry that defines Kent’s green credentials.
If you’re a business focused on net zero transition the East Kent Coastal Corridor has all you need, including the funding incentives and local government support, top universities, skills and expertise that you’ll need to build your success and achieve your ambitions.
Companies like GrowUp Farms and Thanet Earth exemplify local innovation in this space, utilising advanced agricultural techniques that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. Ryze Hydrogen is another. All benefit from their wisely chosen location.
For businesses looking to invest in a region with robust infrastructure, a commitment to sustainability, and a track record of success, the East Kent Coastal Corridor is an unparalleled opportunity.
Altira Park in Herne Bay offers prime commercial space of 7,500 to 50,000 sq ft just seven miles north of Canterbury city with the Port of Dover less than an hour away. As well as fast connections to the A2 and M2, regular high speed trains bring London within an hour of this prime location.
It’s these connections that make the East Kent Coastal Corridor such a compelling location for logistics and distribution including Manston Business Park where the opening of a new Thanet Parkway station and the potential transformation of Manston Airport into a regional cargo hub are further adding to the region’s business appeal as a place of opportunity for businesses aiming high.
