Drayton Garden Village, Middlesex >Inland Homes acquired the highly sought after RAF West Drayton site in Middlesex, West London in 2009. This 31 acre site is one of the largest remaining brownfield sites close to the M25 situated a mile from Heathrow Airport. RAF West Drayton was previously the main centre for military and civilian air traffic control in Britain; however, this use has ceased on site and moved to Swanwick, Southampton, in November 2007 (civil) and January 2008 (military). The site is now known as "Drayton Garden Village" and details of the scheme are available at www.draytongardenvillage.com. Following many months of public consultation and close liason with officers and councillors at the Local Authority, Inland Homes secured planning permission for 773 new homes, a primary healthcare facility, nursing home and a variety of commercial premises. The scheme design uses the same suburban residential planning techniques of the 1930s where gardens, trees, hedgerows and green space dominate the landscape. Inland Homes purchased RAF West Drayton from Defence Estates, the property arm of the Ministry of Defence, unconditionally in 2009 with a financial partner. |
Queensgate, Farnborough >Inland Homes purchased from Defence Estates, the property arm of the Ministry of Defence, the former DERA Centre for Human Sciences site in Farnborough, Hampshire. This 24.5 acre brownfield site, adjacent to Farnborough Airport, has the benefit of planning permission for 399 residential units and over 100,000 sq ft of commercial use development in 2007. The first two phases totalling 123 units are nearing completion and a further planning application has since been approved which reduces the amount of commercial buildings on the site to be replaced with an 80 bed nursing home after it was established that there is a shortage of suitable elderly care facilities in the local area. Construction on the nursing home is anticipated during 2011. The site is also home to the UK's last human centrifuge facility, which is leased to QinetiQ PLC in order to enable the continuation of work on the Typhoon Fighter Jet programme, the state-of-the art aircraft that is set to become the RAF's major front-line type. This facility has been listed by English Heritage. For further information on the availability of homes in the first phase please visit: |
