MKDP has launched a new development opportunity at Emerson Valley.

Located 2.75 miles to the south-east of Central Milton Keynes, the 0.6-acre site benefits from local amenities including green spaces at Tattenhoe Valley Linear Park and Howe Park Wood, as well as a local convenience store, post office, and MK RUFC.

A density of around 35 dwellings per hectare is considered appropriate for the site.

A minimum of 36% of homes need to be affordable in line with MKDP requirements.

Damien Lippett, development manager at MKDP said: “MKDP works with developers, investors and businesses to help Milton Keynes to be one of the most desirable places to live and do business in the UK.

“Following the recent launch of our development opportunity at Kents Hill, we’re pleased to announce another opportunity for a development partner to deliver high quality homes at Emerson Valley.”

The deadline for conditional offers has now closed.  The development partner will be announced in 2025.

MKDP has launched a new development opportunity at Kents Hill and is now seeking conditional offers from potential partners.

Planning permission has been granted for a private hospital or care home and it is also part of an allocated housing site.

Approximately 2.5 miles south-east of Milton Keynes city centre, the site occupies 2.79 acres of predominantly grassland. Nearby amenities include a four-star hotel, the East Campus of the Open University, a convenience store, and Kents Hill Park. Two schools are also within walking distance.

If submissions comprise plans for residential units, MKDP requires a minimum of 36% of dwellings to be affordable.

Damien Lippett, development manager at MKDP, said: “We’re looking for a collaborative partner to work with us to deliver a high-quality hospital, care home, or residential development at Kents Hill. With plenty of green space, excellent amenities, and transport connections nearby, the site offers an opportunity for a development partner to help unlock the city’s potential.”

MKDP works with developers, investors and businesses to help Milton Keynes seize the opportunity to be one of the most desirable places to live and do business in the UK.

The deadline for conditional offers has now closed.  The development partner will be announced in 2025.

Since 2019 we’ve been working with Taylor Wimpey to deliver 73 new homes at Shenley Church End.

We are pleased to share that sales have now been completed on all private market dwellings at the development.

Located on the south-western outskirts of Milton Keynes, the development has been named Shenley Park and comprises three, four and five-bedroom homes. These high-quality homes are set in green open space with convenient access to the city centre and they have proven popular with buyers.

Of the 73 units, there is a mix of tenures with 46 private market homes and 27 affordable properties (36 per cent).

Damien Lippett, Development Manager at MKDP, said:

“This development is another fantastic example of MKDP’s work to deliver much-needed housing without compromising on quality, location, or affordable allocation. We want to deliver the best outcomes for Milton Keynes, and we continue to act on our commitments to set better standards for new schemes while achieving more affordable housing for the city.

“We’ve been pleased to see how Taylor Wimpey has optimised the use of space on this site while delivering the scheme efficiently. With all private market sales now complete, we’re looking forward to seeing the community flourish in this area in the years ahead.”
