Milton Keynes gives go-ahead for 196-home scheme

Vistry Group, Homes England and Paradigm Housing Group have been given the go-ahead by Milton Keynes Council for the delivery of 196 homes at Tattenhoe Park. Vistry’s Countryside Partnerships brand and Paradigm are working with Homes England to accelerate the delivery of affordable housing at the site. The joint venture between the two companies will deliver a mix of private and affordable homes with the affordable homes split between affordable rent and shared ownership tenures. A range of one-to-four-bedroom affordable homes will be delivered, while the private homes will be a mix of two-to-five-bedroom properties. The village-style neighbourhood will feature a range of amenities and facilities in the wider Tattenhoe Park site. The scheme is phase 7 of the 1,310-home neighbourhood in Tattenhoe Park. Work is anticipated to start on site at the end of 2024 and be completed in the summer of 2027. The first homes within this phase are anticipated to be completed in summer 2025. Martyn Jones, executive director for development and sales at Paradigm, said: “With the new government putting the dire need for social housing at the heart of its agenda, it’s more important than ever to be involved in the creation of new homes. “Our work with Countryside Partnerships and Homes England at Tattenhoe Park will provide at least 59 affordable homes in a highly sought-after location. “It’s just one part of our commitment to working to overcome the housing emergency, and we’re currently partnering with the wider Vistry Group at six sites to deliver over 500 properties over the next six years – with hopefully more in the pipeline.” Jon Irvine, development director at Homes England, said: “As the government’s housing and regeneration agency, our focus is to work with partners up and down the country on our mission to drive housing and regeneration, creating high quality homes and thriving places where people can live, work and grow. “The latest milestone at Tattenhoe Park is testament to the collaborative nature of our relationship with Vistry and Paradigm Housing and shows our mission in action.” Check out planning information for Milton Keynes >> Image © BPTW
