New homes for historic railway site

New homes for historic railway site

Monday, November 07, 2005

Wolverton Milton Keynes Partnership (MKP) and English Partnerships have announced a ‘catalyst’ redevelopment project in an industrial part of historic Wolverton.

The brownfield site will see new homes and businesses built within the historic railway site – a catalyst to regenerating the whole area, it is claimed.

Two hundred and ninety homes will be built with a mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments - 30% of the new build properties will be affordable. A key part of the project will be the refurbishment of two derelict listed buildings – the Royal Train Shed and the Triangle Building – to create 80 homes and commercial space.

David Higgins, chief executive of national regeneration agency English Partnerships and an Milton Keynes Partnership committee member said, "Development on a brownfield site is unusual in Milton Keynes but demonstrates our drive to make the best use of surplus public sector land. The design and build will preserve the character of the area while providing much needed affordable homes for the local community."

It is expected that a detailed planning application will be submitted early next year with MKP building new infrastructure on site from January 2006. Work on the new homes will start in September 2006.
