The first principle for our masterplan is that the new homes should feel like living in the park. Green spaces and landscaping should dovetail with the parkland setting. It should be the greenest new neighbourhood in Milton Keynes.

Campbell Park Northside presents a unique offer to its future residents through being both parkside and cityside. It is important to knit this development back into the wider city proposition and to make its proximity to the city centre an intrinsic part of the plan. The site is right next to Campbell Park, and 10 minutes’ walk from Central Milton Keynes. Redways run through the site, and can be improved and connected.
Nodes of activity will intercept the Redway through a series of mini hubs with integrated amenities. We’re thinking coffee shops, cycle shops and hire facilities. This will animate the axis between CMK and the Grand Union Canal to facilitate activity in the park, drawing the park into the city and the city into the park.
Through smarter design in our neighbourhoods we can accentuate these positives, adding to transport options for new residents: car sharing, EV charging, scooter hire and by making the most of Milton Keynes’ 300km of Redways for walking, cycling, scooters and wheelchairs. The aim is getting people where they need to go in the greenest way possible.

A strong and resilient community with homes for every stage of your life
A strong and resilient community with homes for every stage of your life
Successful neighbourhoods have a diverse mix of people of all ages, with homes for every stage of their lives. It’s what makes a strong and resilient community. Our plan is simple: by combining a wide choice of homes, in a variety of settings, with a flexible mix of tenures we can create the opportunity for all kinds of people to live how they like. From garden mews around the village green to loft living with unrivalled views.
The future also needs work-from home built in, to your home and your neighbourhood. Working from home, hybrid working and work from-anywhere are the new normal for many people. Too often this can mean dialling in from the spare room, working on the kitchen table or heading to the nearest coffee shop. Our designs consider homeworking in the home and at neighbourhood scale.

Meeting the biggest challenge of our time
From an environmental standpoint, minimising the project's footprint through energy-efficient design, recycled materials, and green infrastructure will be important. Protecting and enhancing biodiversity is also crucial, achieved through ecological assessments, native landscaping, and wildlife corridors. Waste reduction is another priority, with construction waste minimised and resource recovery actively promoted.
Socially responsible regeneration requires deep community engagement. Residents' needs and aspirations guide the project, with a focus on improving their quality of life. Affordable housing options are vital to prevent displacement, while vibrant public spaces, support for local businesses, and accessibility features all contribute to a thriving community.
Economic sustainability ensures the project's long-term viability. Durable, low-maintenance design keeps costs down, while local procurement strengthens the community. Job creation and skills development during construction and operation further contribute to economic well-being.
True regeneration goes beyond just minimising negative impacts. A new
neighbourhood should be green by default, supporting a low carbon lifestyle that makes sustainability second nature.
