DESIGNS for a £2m hilltop landmark have been whittled down to a shortlist of three.

The Ebbsfleet Landmark will be up to 50 metres high and within the Ebbsfleet Valley development near Swanscombe.

Funding comes from Land Securities, Eurostar and London & Continental Railways, who appointed a committee, the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project, to oversee its creation.

On October 1 the committee decided to assess construction plans for three designs before it chooses one as a winner early next year.

Committee chairman Stephen Jordan said: "With such an outstanding range of proposals, it's right that we now look carefully at the practical delivery of each one."

The chosen are by professional artists Daniel Buren, Richard Deacon and Mark Wallinger.

The landmark is expected to be completed by 2010.
