120 acre former army barracks
In March 2005 The Group acquired this 120 acre former army barracks from the Ministry of Defence. The property was master planned for a mixed use/residential scheme and after careful design a planning application was submitted for a 103 unit residential scheme on 15 acres of the site. Through pro-active consultation with the local planning authority planning permission was granted in September 2005 and in January 2006,15 acres were sold to Taylor Wimpy. In June 2010, planning was secured for a further 40 acres of development on the site comprising 375 residential homes, 5,000 sq m of employment space, 500 sq m of retail space and a new primary school. The residential and retail land was subsequently sold to Bovis Homes in July 2011. The employment space is currently being marketed. CEG will be promoting the remainder of the site for further residential development during 2012. This will comprise up to 400 additional residential units.
