The information contained in this PIN and the documents made available are indicative only at this stage and subject to change.

Thanet District Council is yet to assign a value to the proposed estimated value for this project and it is believed this to be dependent upon the operating model that may be selected.
Thanet District Council is not immediately seeking to divide the Green Campus Operating Model into Lots but may consider this option subject to the consultations being undertaken under this Prior Indication Notice.
Thanet District Council are not arranging site visits as the development is currently in the design development stage and construction works are not due to be completed until Spring 2025. The site is fenced to prevent unauthorised access to the Ramsgate Port area but is visible from the public rights of way.
