Milton Keynes Development Partnership (MKDP) has agreed a deal with Grand Union Housing Group that will see 34 new homes being built at Milton Keynes.
MKDP selected Grand Union as its development partner for the one-acre site at Hampstead Gate, Bradwell Common, following an open tender process.
MKDP was impressed by the modern design proposed by Grand Union, its credentials as a community-focussed housing association and track record of working with contractors to deliver high quality homes within existing neighbourhoods.
Sale terms have been agreed and Grand Union has now submitted planning for the new properties which will feature a range of housing tenures.
Charles Macdonald, MKDP’s Chief Executive, said: “Our strategy of marketing smaller unused sites is providing much needed homes across Milton Keynes. We are promoting such schemes to help meet the pressing demand for both private and affordable housing.

“As this is a residential area, a housing scheme was the most appropriate type of development for the site. Grand Union’s proposal displayed an imaginative approach to the brief and requirement to deliver 36% affordable housing. We welcome its planning application and look forward to the commencement of the scheme later this year.”
Dave Lakin, Director of Development & Commercial at Grand Union Housing Group, said: “Additional homes are urgently needed in Milton Keynes and as a locally based housing association Grand Union is well placed to build quality houses for a range of customers.
“We are excited that the submission of our planning application for Bradwell Common will coincide with us moving our head office to Kents Hill, Milton Keynes. The move will enable us to deliver even more new homes, achieving this by working with local communities and a range of partners such as MKDP, Catalyst Land Solutions and Woods Hardwick.”
