Bellway’s new Tattenhoe Meadows development was visited by Labour MP Callum Anderson, and the Mayor of Milton Keynes, Councillor James Lancaster last week.
The Government has set a target of delivering 1.5 million homes in this Parliament, and the visitors were able to find out more about Bellway’s project to build 170 homes at Tattenhoe Meadows, using sustainable features such as timber frames and electric air source heat pumps as the housebuilding industry moves towards net zero.
Work started at Tattenhoe Meadows, which forms part of the wider Tattenhoe Park neighbourhood on the south-western edge of Milton Keynes, in summer of this year.
“This Labour Government is committed to driving forward the building of new homes which provide the security that local families across Milton Keynes are crying out for,” Callum said.
“I was pleased to be able to join the Mayor of Milton Keynes, Cllr James Lancaster, on a visit to Tattenhoe Meadows to see the progress being made by Bellway on site. These 170 sustainable new homes will further boost the number of homes available to the people of Milton Keynes.
“It was particularly interesting to learn how Bellway is harnessing new technologies to help speed up the delivery of homes and reduce carbon emissions as the housing industry moves towards net zero,” he added.
The homes being built by Bellway at Tattenhoe Meadows include a mix of three and four-bedroom houses and two-bedroom apartments, with 119 homes for private sale and 51 affordable homes.
The development will feature a landscaped area of open space with seating and a network of footpaths and cycleways to promote active lifestyles, while biodiversity will be prioritised with the retention of a woodland belt, new planting to include plants for pollinators, and the installation of bat and bird boxes, hedgehog-friendly fencing and habitat wood piles.
This is Bellway’s second phase at Tattenhoe Park, with the construction of 160 homes on a neighbouring land parcel now complete.
