  • East Kent Growth Framework Final Report
    East Kent Growth Framework: Final Report East Kent Growth Framework Final Report East Kent Regeneration Board December 2017 Pg 1 East Kent Growth Framework: Final Report Executive Summary East Kent is a significant economic sub-region. The area combines a distinctive and unique blend of international connectivity, proximity to London and mainland Europe, world-class education institutions, incredible coastal assets and a rapidly-expanding base of high growth sectors which provide a strong platform for future growth. It accounts for a third of all jobs in Kent, and since the late 1990s has been one of the fastest growing areas in South East England. Recent house building growth coupled with the lifestyle attractions of vibrant historic towns, outstanding countryside, heritage assets and coastal areas mean that increasing numbers of people are choosing to invest in and call East Kent home. East Kent is of national significance because it has leading infrastructure such as the High Speed 1 rail network, Channel Tunnel, Port of Dover and Port of Ramsgate. We are the gateway location that links the UK with continental Europe. Considerable progress has been made over the last few years to deliver against the various strategic priorities and locations identified in the 2013 East Kent Growth Plan, with a combination of private and public sector investment helping to bring forward a range of significant development projects. Looking over the next 20 years, East Kent is expected to generate 36,500 new jobs according to the latest forecasts and increase economic output by over 50% from current levels. The working-age population of East Kent has been expanding more rapidly than other parts of Kent and the South East over recent years.
