Kent County Cricket Club name Bellway Plc as housing partner for St Lawrence Ground redevelopment project
Comments |
Kent County Cricket Club have revealed Bellway Plc will be its
housing partner for their ground redevelopment project
at the St Lawrence Ground in
Canterbury.
Bellway were named Major Housebuilder of the Year in 2009 and will design and build
the new living accommodation at the ground.
The redevelopment also includes a hotel,
conference facilities, health and fitness centre, hospitality
boxes, stand refurbishment, floodlights and retail units.
Kent’s acting chief executive Jamie Clifford
(pictured) said they were pleased to have
concluded an agreement with their housing partner for
that part of
the work.
He said: “Bellway are a high quality developer
and have a first class record of delivering outstanding
developments.
“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
Division), said they were
delighted to be working with the club.
He said: “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.
