Stage Two Exhibition Displays

London Paramount welcomes you
Welcome, and thank you for visiting London Resort Company Holdings’ (LRCH) consultation
event on its emerging proposals for the London Paramount Entertainment Resort.
Our team is still working hard carrying out a range of studies to understand the site and its
setting. The plans on display today are a work in progress, but we feel it is important to show
you how we are getting on with it.
Please take a look at what is proposed and give us your views. The team will carefully consider
all the feedback we receive to inform the emerging masterplan. We will then hold further
consultation events and workshops in the Spring and Summer of next year before submitting
a planning application to Government.
July 2014 consultation results
Over 2,000 local residents and businesses came
along to the first stage of consultation events in
July, where we asked how local people would
prefer to be consulted on our plans for the
Entertainment Resort over the next 12 months.
Some of the important feedback we received
included:
• A majority of people (59%) would prefer to
attend an exhibition in the evening
• 84% of people expressed an interest in
attending a workshop event in early 2015,
with ‘transport’ and ‘job opportunities’
particularly popular themes
• 77% of people would like to be kept up to
date on the proposals through the use of
email bulletins; 49% newsletters;
24% leaflets

The Site
The red line below indicates the likely boundary of the area included in the planning application.
This includes the important highways improvement works on the A2.
The red line on the image above shows the boundary of the planning application
We are working closely with Dartford Borough
Council and Gravesham Borough Council to bring
forward a comprehensive masterplan for London
Paramount. The Entertainment Resort has already
been accepted by the UK Government as the first
‘Business or Commercial Project’ to be considered
a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP).
NSIPs are major infrastructure developments, such
as power plants and major road projects, which
support the UK economy and are considered to be
of national importance.
Our proposals will be reviewed by the Government
from Autumn 2015 following extensive consultation and
engagement with local people and interested parties.

A place to work and play
A high quality of life is needed to attract people to live, work and visit an area, and for existing
residents to want to stay and build their futures there.
London Paramount will not only create a place to work and play for local people, it will help
to accelerate the potential of the nearby Garden City in Ebbsfleet and encourage new
regeneration opportunities.

History of Pleasure Gardens
During Victorian times there was an explosion of
interest in the Thames as a leisure source, and many
of the activities we enjoy on the river today started
in this era. Even before that and long before the
invention of theme parks and entertainment resorts,
Georgian Londoners enjoyed their own type of
amusement park: the pleasure garden.
In many ways, pleasure gardens were the
amusement parks of Georgian England, allowing
visitors to escape the hustle and bustle while offering
them a variety of entertainment, including picturesque
gardens, strolling paths, musical concerts, balloon
rides, fountain displays, balls, and even fireworks
shows.
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, the most famous of the
pleasure gardens, began its life in 1661 on the south
bank of the Thames and enabled ordinary Londoners
to experience contemporary art and design, high
quality music and al fresco dining.
Understanding the history of pleasure gardens,
together with amusement piers and the beach
resorts, contributes to the overall picture of the
River Thames as a traditional source of leisure and
entertainment that is still enjoyed to the present day.

Our exciting vision
London Paramount will be the first of its kind in the UK and is expected to attract up to
15 million visitors a year – that’s around 50,000 people enjoying the resort on a typical day.
With a wide range of attractions and entertainment, there will be something for everyone
from families to school trips, business customers and arts lovers. Our visitors will arrive
from all over the UK and the rest of the world and because we are committed to our core
value of Diversity, we will ensure the Resort is accessible and provides facilities to allow
all guests to enjoy the Resort equally.
The Resort will have over 50
exciting rides and attractions
all themed around some of the
most famous films, television
programmes, games and other
artistic works of our partners.
“We are planning to
make London Paramount
Entertainment Resort
a world-class, global
destination.”
Attractions will include:
•
Signature entertainment
shows and cultural events
•
12 major rides
•
Water rides
•
Family rides
•
Adrenaline rides
The heart of the park will open
to the public in Easter 2020, with
additional rides and attractions
scheduled to be unveiled soon
after in the following years.
Did you know?
Paramount has a library of over
3,000 films and its branding is
amongst the most successful in
world cinema, with iconic movies
including Mission: Impossible,
Star Trek, Titanic and
The Godfather.

Bringing dynamic benefits
It is absolutely critical that the London Paramount Entertainment Resort brings benefits
to the North Kent region and the UK as a whole. This includes employment opportunities,
economic growth, and delivering real benefits to the local community – with a real focus
on education and skills.
Leisure
Business
Within the leisure and tourism industry
there has long been an awareness
that the UK needs a global scale
entertainment resort and visitor
attraction of this type.
We will establish a creative space
to provide a central hub for the UK
creative industry.
London Paramount will be the best
Entertainment destination in Europe
with an outstanding studio theme park
featuring a range of rides, attractions
and amenity facilities themed around
the films and television programmes
of Paramount Studios and UK
producers, and over 11,000 sq m
of exhibition space showcasing British
inventions and brands.
Our plan is to provide flexible
workspaces designed to appeal and
cater for startup businesses, small
and larger design focussed companies
and light industrial units, together
representing one of the great strengths
of the UK economy – small and medium
sized enterprises.
Regeneration
Environment
The London Paramount proposals will
regenerate a brownfield site, isolated by
its previous industrial uses, back into
an outstanding, vibrant focus
for the region.
The plans will be a showcase for
environmental design and management.
The combination of jobs, celebrated
architecture, access to river walks,
the protection of sensitive wildlife
areas and a global entertainment
resort will transform the under
appreciated peninsula.
Not only are we seeking to create
a low carbon exemplar for the sector,
but an environmentally responsible
resort, leading the way in energy
use and re-use.
In particular, we want to maximise the
role of the river and wonderful marshes
surrounding the site. Our aspiration is
for the Resort to be heralded as setting
a new standard for environmentalism.

Getting infrastructure right
We are gathering information from resorts across the world to understand how best to
respond to the site and its wider context, ensuring London Paramount is a showcase for
efficiency and environmental design.
One of the key benefits of the proposals will be improvements to the roads, ensuring that
new infrastructure is in place before the opening of the Resort.
We are studying similar scale resorts and building an acoustic model of how sound travels around them.
This will allow us to incorporate sound reduction measures into the design of London Paramount.
We are also engaging with the Environment Agency on a strategy to reduce demand on local water resources,
creating efficient drainage and waste systems, including opportunities for recycling and reusing water on the
site and improving the off-site infrastructure network.
Additionally, we are seeking to
manage the flood risk to the site
now and into the future by making
considerations for climate change in
flood risk mitigation proposals.
“The infrastructure will
be in place before the
resort opens.”
We propose to utilise sustainable
drainage systems to reduce surface
water discharge from the site and
improve water quality.
The following are being considered for
the site:
•
Rainwater harvesting
and recycling
•
Adoption of swales (or contour
bunds) as part of the landscape
•
Rainwater attenuation through
storage in open features and /
or green or brown roofs
•
Bio-retention and sub-surface
storage; and permeable paving
In terms of power and energy, we will
be working to minimise the demands
from the development and introduce
technologies to reduce the carbon
footprint of the project, contributing
to the overall sustainability aims of
London Paramount.

Getting in and out
There is no doubt in our minds that transport is one of the most sensitive and critical areas of
concern for local residents.
We share your determination to get this right and have been working hard to understand
the local impacts, routes of travel and, remembering what was shared in the first round of
consultation, have taken into consideration your views and experiences.

We are carrying out a full range of transport
studies to properly understand how our
proposals will affect traffic flows. There are
currently on average 148,000 vehicles (twoway) using the A2 each day between the
M25 and Ebbsfleet.

Our studies have identified that on an
average day, overall daily traffic flows on the
A2 would increase by approximately 12%.
Nor th fl eet W es t Gr id Sub Stati o n
“Transport is residents’
main concern. It’s ours too,
and we are determined to
get it right.”
The Resort’s opening times will be managed
to largely avoid peak travelling times. The
graphs to the right show how current traffic
flow on the A2 varies throughout the day,
with peaks and troughs at certain times. The
majority of traffic heading to and from the
Resort each day will fill the troughs in the
traffic flows on the A2.
We plan to have up to 10,000 visitor parking spaces and up to 4,000 staff parking spaces provided on the site.
This is sufficient for the number of cars that will be travelling to the site each day.
We are developing travel plans to encourage visitors and employees to travel by modes of transport other than
the car, including walking, cycling, bus, rail and river transport. Those travelling by car to the Resort will be
restricted to the strategic road network (i.e. the A2).

Other ways of getting around
The site is already connected to excellent public transport links and London Paramount
visitors will benefit from its proximity to Ebbsfleet International, local train stations and
the potential for Crossrail. It is only 17 minutes by train from Central London and less
than two hours from mainland Europe via Eurostar and Eurotunnel.
To promote the use of sustainable travel choices to the Resort, integrated ticketing
systems will be used to help reduce the cost of travelling by public transport.
Combined with improvements in
capacity of the public transport
network, the following mode shares
have been set as targets:
•
5% by river
•
15% by coach / bus
•
20% by train
Walking and cycling
A high quality public realm will be
provided for the Resort, with new
public places and river walks.
We are working with Kent County
Council to promote sustainable ways
of getting to the Resort. The plans aim
to connect the site to the existing foot
and cyclepath network, including the
impressive Thames Estuary Path that
runs to the heart of London and which
forms part of the long distance cycle
route linking Dover and the Shetland
Islands (Sustrans Route 1).
We will also create new routes to make
it attractive for people to walk, cycle
or bus to the site.
Reconnecting with the Riverfront
The plans aim to include enhanced
public rights of way to connect the site
with the surrounding communities and
the River Thames.
We want to harness the potential of
the river, drawing on the waterway’s
rich history, such as of the Gravesend
Watermen who ferried passengers
to and from London in the early
nineteenth century.
©®™Paramount Pictures Corp. All rights reserved.
Better green spaces
We are undertaking detailed environmental studies to examine the impact of the proposals on
the character of the site’s landscape, its wider setting and important views.
This will help us to develop a comprehensive landscape strategy to integrate the new
development into the landscape. The strategy seeks to draw from the industrial history of the
Swanscombe Peninsula landscape and the adjacent Thames riverscape, whilst also reflecting
the new urban landscapes associated with the ongoing transformation of Ebbsfleet Valley.
We are committed to protecting and enhancing landscape features that contribute to the
distinctive character and ecology of the site, such as the open marshland on Swanscombe
Peninsula, and a wide range of detailed ecology surveys are being undertaken to assess the
nature conservation value of the site.

Jobs, careers, skills and education
“We will help people
develop the skills to get
jobs and build careers.”
London Paramount plans to create approximately
27,000 new jobs in the community, including:
Employment opportunities at London Paramount
include:
•
•
Hospitality
•
Catering
•
Engineering and manufacturing
•
Technology
•
Customer services
•

7,000 jobs for the London Paramount Resort
itself supported by training
•
4,000 jobs in the hotels
•
6,000 jobs in the Creative Hub and support in
the immediate area
•
Approximately 10,000 further jobs in the wider
area by creating a leisure product manufacture

From 2017, there will also be approximately 6,000
jobs created throughout the construction period.
It is important that we have an effective partnership
with local schools and colleges to provide young
people with the skills needed to secure a job at
the Resort.
We will work with local education providers and other
representatives to establish a skills programme that
will give local people the training and qualifications
they need before the Resort opens in 2020.

Suppliers and contractors
We will be establishing our own supply chain to ensure the wealth of contractor and supplier
opportunities created by the Entertainment Resort are promoted to local businesses.
Supplier opportunities at the Resort will include:
•
Construction
•
Engineering and manufacturing
•
Food and beverage
•
Security
•
Service providers
•
Landscaping
•
Telecommunications and ICT
•
Utilities etc.
We will hold events in early 2015 to give potential
suppliers the opportunity to find out more about our
services and product requirements. The workshops
will provide information on LRCH’s procurement
approach and how suppliers and contractors can
get involved.
“We want to work with as
many local firms as possible”
Please get in touch by:

Tourism and local partnerships
A high-level assessment of the potential tourism and
local economic benefits can be shown from a review
of Disneyland Paris and other resorts. As a mature
attraction, Disneyland Paris attracts approximately
50% of visits from domestic markets and 50% from
international markets. Over time, we are also aiming
to achieve significant levels of international visits.
regeneration. This will have a spin-off benefit for local
traders and leisure destinations across Kent and the
south east.
We are already investigating plans with Visit Kent,
the official destination management organisation for
Kent and Medway, to ensure the benefits are shared
across Kent.
London Paramount will draw people from across the
world into the area and act as a catalyst for business
“We want to ensure London
Paramount visitors also see
the best Kent has to offer.”

What’s next?
Please take the time to complete our questionnaire on one of the iPads or feedback forms
provided. Following this exhibition, the project team will carefully consider the points raised
and feed them into the plans.
Once the feedback has been reviewed and addressed, the next step is to hold workshop events
in early 2015. These will provide an opportunity to focus on issues of importance for the local
community, such as transport, environment and others identified from the feedback received
today, and are designed to encourage debate and discussion with our specialist consultants.
If you would be interested in taking part in future consultation events on the London Paramount
Entertainment Resort please let us know on the feedback form.
“Your feedback
will influence what
we do next. Please
stay involved.”
All the information from the exhibition will be available
to view on our website, which we will continue to
update throughout the planning process.
