St. Modwen has been chosen by Midlands Land Portfolio Limited (MLPL), the property development arm of Severn Trent (represented by CBRE), as its development partner for a 154-acre site to the west of Cheltenham, which is part of a wider mixed-use development known as The Golden Valley Development.
The site is adjacent to the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the National Cyber Security Centre and forms part of a key strategic allocation within the Joint Core Strategy.
It includes the delivery of approximately 3,000 new homes, a mixed-use Cyber Central Cluster bringing together leading cyber businesses and innovators alongside academic facilities dedicated to cyber and technologies, and significant infrastructure improvements.
Guy Gusterson, Managing Director of Strategic Land & Regeneration at St. Modwen said: “The Cheltenham development presents a unique opportunity to shape and deliver a new community next to a globally-recognised hub for cyber security.
“We will work with local stakeholders to deliver a diverse new community where new homes will sit amongst green shared spaces as we deliver a vibrant, sustainable and richly deserving scheme.”
