Bellway announced as cricket club development partner
Comments |
Kent County Cricket Club has confirmed that Bellway will be its
housing partner for the upcoming redevelopment project at its
historic Canterbury ground.
Bellway were named major housebuilder of the year in 2009 and
will design and build the new homes at the St Lawrence Ground,
Canterbury. The redevelopment also includes a hotel, conference
facilities, a health and fitness centre, hospitality boxes, stand
refurbishment, floodlights and retail units.
"We are pleased to have concluded an agreement with our housing
partner for the housing element of the redevelopment project.
Bellway is a high quality developer and has a first-class record of
delivering outstanding developments," said Kent's acting chief
executive officer Jamie Clifford.
"We are looking forward to working closely with them as we
create a ground of which we can all be proud."
Jason Green, managing director, Bellway South East, added: "The
partnership will allow us to continue to develop a range of high
quality homes for people in the Canterbury area. The St Lawrence
Ground is an iconic venue and presents a wonderful development
opportunity."
The club will be submitting a planning application to Canterbury
City Council that seeks to amend the scheme for the Bat and Ball
site shortly.
This will see a reduction in the number of housing units within
the development and a reconfiguration from flats to houses.
