<p> </p><p><em>[Holding Reply: Monday 31 March 2014]</em></p><p>We expect the new
Ebbsfleet Urban Development Corporation, once established, to develop the vision for
Ebbsfleet Garden City in co-operation with local partners.</p><p>We would expect the
Corporation, working with local partners and other experts, to consider how accepted
Garden Cities principles, such as high quality, imaginative design, the provision
of generous green space, mixed tenure homes and a strong local jobs offer, could be
delivered in a way appropriate to local needs and circumstances.</p><p>The Government
wants Ebbsfleet to set high standards in terms of design quality. The Built for Life
principles are industry developed standards for good design. We would look to those
coming forward with development proposals at Ebbsfleet to adopt them, and encourage
them to be ambitious by aiming for a ‘green' rating.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
