Altira Business Park in Herne Bay wins Planning Appeal to build a hotel and restaurant


Kitewood the Kent based property developers have this week won an appeal decision to build a new 50 room Premier Travel Inn and Brewers Fayre family restaurant on Altira Business Park in Herne Bay, Kent.

Joe Crawley, Kitewood’s Managing Director said “We have commenced building Altira Business Park this year and are thrilled with this decision. The Whitbread hotel and restaurant will play a crucial role in providing leisure facilities for our occupiers on the business park.  We welcome this decision from Canterbury Council and look forward to continuing with our build programme for Altira Business Park, which is attracting new interest every week.  In addition to Whitbread we will be making announcements of other new occupiers next month!”

Kitewood in Uganda

The Directors of the Kitewood Group have targeted Uganda as an area of huge potential and economic growth following twenty years of political stability. In 2007 an office was opened in Kampala, which concentrates on residential and commercial developments in the city and the peninsula linking Kampala to Entebbe International Airport.

Residential properties in development range from modern affordable apartments which will help address the current chronic shortage of this type of housing in Uganda, through to high quality apartments for the higher-end private and corporate letting market.

Commercially, KBUD is currently working to identify land suitable for developing offices and small industrial parks.

The singularly unusual aspect of this Kitewood satellite company is the reinvestment of all profits (other than the element of the profits distributed to a local charity, BSUF) into the expansion of this company for the employment of a broad range of local people embodying all disciplines involved in the development process. This company will provide a non-charitable post-education opportunity for ambitious Ugandans.
