Ebbsfleet Garden City Trust timeline

Work on the development of Ebbsfleet and its surrounding areas has been in the pipeline for over 30 years. Establishment of the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation has facilitated and focussed the work required to make the Garden City a reality, by pulling together the developers, landowners, local councils, transport, housing associations, businesses and local residents.

In looking ahead to determine how to ensure the Ebbsfleet Garden City continues to be a sustainable, community driven location for families and businesses to grown and thrive, EDC set up the Ebbsfleet Garden City Trust (EGCT) as an independent charity. EGCT will ensure the vision of the Garden City is met, in perpetuity
