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. |
