Plans have been submitted for the first phase of a brand new development at Campbell Park.
Regeneration company Urban Splash and Manchester-based developer Glenbrook have formed a new joint venture partnership to deliver new homes in the Campbell Park area of Milton Keynes.
Urban Splash and Glenbrook are set to commence their partnership with the initial phase. A planning application has today (7/8), been submitted to Milton Keynes City Council.
The Milton Keynes Development Partnership appointed Urban Splash as preferred developer partner on the wider Campbell Park site, to create around 1,500-new homes.
The plans submitted to Milton Keynes City Council propose a new green neighbourhood which includes 450-apartments.
Matthew Green, MKDP’s property development director, said: “This is one of the most important sites in Milton Keynes, which will shape the Campbell Park area’s future and we are delighted to have a visionary, forward-thinking partner in place to coordinate the whole project.”
Urban Splash director Nathan Cornish said: “We’ve known Glenbrook for a long time, and we are excited about working with them. We have looked at a few opportunities together and Milton Keynes feels like the right place to bring together our collective skills and experiences to deliver something truly special opposite Campbell Park. We have got together a design team lead by Howells Architects and Grant Associates with the ambition to create a new community within a vast lush new landscape”.
Added Sunny Johal, development director at Glenbrook: “This partnership supports our ambition to expand our geographical reach and develop more high-quality homes across the UK, in areas such as the South East, Midlands and London.
“We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver and with the planning application now submitted, we are focussed on securing a funding partner to support the delivery of a vibrant new cultural and social hub which represents the future of Milton Keynes.
“Working with Urban Splash and MKDP we hope to create a truly sustainable new neighbourhood. We will adopt a low-carbon approach, through the use of renewable power and carbon offsetting to ensure this is an exemplary development – and we’ll ensure that sustainability lasts, empowering everyone who lives and works here to make low-carbon lifestyle choices of their own.
“We’ll connect residents with nature, creating rich green spaces, with parklands, active play areas, and enhanced walking and cycle routes that will benefit the entire community.
“We look forward to working through the planning process, engaging with local people, and working with them as we make this vision a reality in the near future.”
