Alkerden Market Centre

What and Where?

A new centre for your garden village.

At the heart of the emerging Alkerden village is a new market centre which will provide commercial, retail and community facilities as well as new homes.

This phase of the development will provide the market centre as part of the development of Whitecliffe. The construction of Alkerden Market Centre will kickstart the provision of at least 400 homes, alongside being home to a supermarket, studio and workspace and connection to Ebbsfleet International Station. This will be a key civic space in the heart of the new development – a place to meet, shop, socialise, work and interact.

Partnerships are being developed to deliver a number of shops and cafes that reflect the emerging retail environment.

Alongside the market centre, Alkerden Village will also ultimately be home to both a primary and secondary education campus as well as library and sports facilities.

We want to hear your views!

Henley Investments are at an exciting stage in the development of Whitecliffe (formerly Eastern Quarry) and currently looking to develop ideas for the look and feel of the new high street and supermarket which is due to open in late 2023.

This consultation is at an early stage of us evolving ideas for the space and we’re keen to hear from residents, local business and the local community more broadly to help develop our thinking.

Thank you to everyone who has submitted their thoughts, the initial consultation period has now ended. We will share details of future consultations on this website.
