This is an 11 acre site with planning permission for a new Sir Thomas Free Mantle School, commercial development and new train station which forms part of Network Rail’s railway upgrade plan, an essential component of East West Rails plans to establish a strategic railway connecting East Anglia with Central, Southern and Western England. This will deliver
- New journey opportunities for passengers between Bedford and Bicester,
- New passenger services between Milton Keynes and London via Aylesbury
- Improved regional links to help boost local economies
- Increased capacity for freight trains, helping to support the UK economy and take vehicles off local roads
Virtus have been appointed by Minns Network Developments to support them in delivering the main infrastructure to the development plots and the significant junction improvement works to the main access into Winslow; the Buckingham Road. There are significant constraints associated with the development site including a High Pressure Gas main crossing the site, a tight programme to meet legal requirements and complex interfaces of the infrastructure planning and design process and delivery with the other development plots.
