Redrow wins Festival site stage two


Redrow Homes has clinched a deal to become lead developer for the œ10 million second phase of development of the former Garden Festival site at Victoria, near Ebbw Vale, in South Wales. Redrow, tipped to take the appointment (see CJ, 24 March), will build the centrepiece of the new urban village.

Redrow has already built 50 private new homes in the first phase, a commitment that will have helped its bid for the second phase. It will now build 200 new homes, shops, offices and other community facilities over the next five years.

The urban village project is being spearheaded by Victoria Partnership - a joint venture between the Welsh Development Agency, Blaenau Gwent Borough Council and Gwent County Council. 500 new homes are planned in total, along with a 10ha technology area, 5ha business park and 22ha of landscaped parkland.
