Vistry Group’s partnership division has been chosen by Milton Keynes City Council to create a new £275m village to the east of Newport Pagnell on a 45-hectare site known as Tickford Fields.
The selection of a developer is the first step in creating a new residential community for the Newport Pagnell and the broader Milton Keynes area.
With planning consent in place, plans include up to 930 new homes, along with community, education, and recreation facilities.
The development will provide play areas, sports pitches (with pavilions and parking), and new pedestrian and cycle links.
There will be a mix of one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom homes, with over 30% of the homes classed as affordable.
There will be an on-site Skills Academy to provide educational opportunities for college students and unemployed people in the local area.
Andy Reynolds, Managing Director of Vistry Group’s partnerships division in the South East Midlands, said: "It’s exciting to be working together with Milton Keynes City Council on this major new development that aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable, and community-centric places to live.
"We are determined to create a scheme that not only blends seamlessly with its surroundings but sets new benchmarks in modern living and offers benefits to the local community."
Councillor Pete Marland, Leader of Milton Keynes City Council, said: “Improving access to affordable housing is at the heart of our Council Plan and I’m pleased that this development will not only deliver much needed affordable homes for local families, but also, energy efficient and more sustainable properties that will ensure a greener future for our city. I look forward to seeing the development progress into a new thriving community.”
