Savills advises on 1,100 home masterplan in Aylesbury
Savills has acted on a signed partnership agreement between Buckinghamshire Advantage, a wholly owned subsidiary of Buckinghamshire Council, and Barratt Redrow to progress the 495-acre ‘Woodlands’ development to the south-east of Aylesbury, next to the A41.
The flagship site has planning permission for over 1,100 high-quality new homes (220 of which will be affordable housing), new community and sports facilities including a 40-acre sports village and pitches, a hotel and conference centre, and one million square feet of business and employment space.
Around 344-acres will consist of formal and informal open green space, enhancing the natural environment, and making it a great place to live, work or visit.
A core element of the scheme is ensuring adequate infrastructure. Woodlands will deliver a key section of the Aylesbury ring road – the Eastern Link Road (South), linking both the award-winning Barratt Redrow Kingsbrook development and Woodlands to the A41.
This will not only provide essential road infrastructure for the new development but will also ease congestion and improve connectivity around Aylesbury, making it much easier to travel in and around the town.
Located between Kingsbrook and Hampden Fields developments, and just 2.5 miles from the town centre, Woodlands will boost investment in Aylesbury by providing new homes, schools, community and healthcare facilities, and sports and leisure amenities – all of which will create new employment opportunities.
Patrick Eve, head of UK regional development at Savills, said: “We are really pleased to have acted on behalf Buckinghamshire Advantage on this transaction. This is an incredibly significant development that will not only deliver a pipeline of much needed housing into the area but will also boost employment and investment opportunities, improve infrastructure and provide new facilities which will benefit the wider community.”
