Taylor Wimpey buys 1,855-home site in Milton Keynes

Henry Boot’s Hallam Land Management and William Davis Homes have sold a 342-acre site in Milton Keynes to Taylor Wimpey. Hallam Land Management’s interest in the land accounted for 618 plots, with 1,237 held by William Davis Homes. The 1,855-plot site lies around seven miles to the south-west of Milton Keynes, below the A421 between Bletchley and Newton Longville. Alongside the homes, of which 30% will be affordable, the site will feature 6.5 acres of employment land, a primary school, secondary school and a neighbourhood centre, including retail and community buildings. More than 130 acres of green infrastructure will be delivered across the site, including play spaces and sports facilities. Henry Boot chief executive Tim Roberts said: “The sale of this site to a leading national housebuilder continues to demonstrate the benefit of working with Hallam Land Management to navigate complex planning arrangements and manage multiple stakeholders.” To send feedback, e-mail piers.wehner@eg.co.uk or tweet @PiersWehner or @EGPropertyNews
