On behalf of the landowners and their development partner, St. Modwen, Carter Jonas is pleased to mark another milestone in the development of the new 1,500 home community at Kingsgrove in Wantage, where it has negotiated the sale of the next parcel of residential land to CALA Homes.
The sale follows the negotiation by Carter Jonas, on behalf of the landowners, of a long-term development agreement with St Modwen for the delivery of infrastructure and services required for our clients to sell serviced land parcels over the coming years.
Carter Jonas had previously obtained outline planning permission for the 227 acre site in July 2015 from the Vale of White Horse District Council for up to 1,500 homes, a new primary school, a neighbourhood centre including a pub/restaurant and local retail accommodation, sports pitches, employment space and community amenities set around a central park.
Infrastructure for the services and access to the site is well underway and CALA Homes will submit a detailed reserved matters application shortly.
James Bainbridge, Head of Planning & Development at Carter Jonas, commented: “This is the second serviced residential parcel sold by the landowners at Kingsgrove and will significantly increase the rate of delivery of much needed new homes in Science Vale. A further residential parcel is likely to be sold during the next six months as St. Modwen’s development of primary infrastructure progresses, and we are looking forward to marketing some of the community facilities, such as a care home site in due course.”
