Award-winning
developer Crest Nicholson, on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation
(DIO), has today announced the sale of land parcels H, I & J at the new
£600m Arborfield Green Garden Village development in Berkshire to Redrow Homes
Southern Counties.
The
15-acre site is allocated in the Arborfield Green masterplan for up to 220
homes and is located south of the new Nine Mile Ride Extension. The site forms
part of the southern gateway to the new garden village.
Redrow
is expected to bring forward initial proposals in accordance with the site’s
Design Codes and outline planning permission over the next few months.
Commenting
on the sale, Crest Nicholson’s Project Director Hugo Reeve said, “Crest
Nicholson is delighted to be working with a fellow developer of Redrow’s
calibre. As the DIO’s development partner, Crest Nicholson’s role is to ensure
the Arborfield Green vision is protected and delivered, and we are pleased that
Redrow shares our ambition.”
Jon
Fletcher, Managing Director of Redrow Southern Counties said, “This is an
exciting opportunity to contribute to the new garden village and create a
thriving new community at Arborfield Green. Redrow is committed to working with
the existing residents and their representatives to ensure the provision of new
homes, including homes for affordable rent and shared ownership.”
Crest
Nicholson was appointed as the Development Manager for the £600 million former
Arborfield Garrison site by the DIO, the estates arm of the Ministry of
Defence, in April 2013.
As
long term custodian of the development, Crest Nicholson will be responsible for
delivering the Arborfield Green vision over the next 12-15 years on behalf of
the DIO. Once complete, the development will provide all of the associated
facilities and infrastructure required to support a high quality, sustainable
and thriving new community. This will include 2,000 new homes, 62 ha of new
public space, new primary and secondary schools, a library, gym, retail and
hospitality units and a new community centre.
