Building work to start on £50m regeneration project

Builders are soon to start work on a £50m regeneration project for a run-down estate in Surrey.

Construction of the first phase of the Stanwell New Start regeneration scheme, due to begin next month (February), will see a total of 52 new homes built.

A2Dominion is working on the scheme in partnership with Spelthorne Borough Council.

David Price, A2Dominion’s Director of Regeneration, said: “We’re very excited that building work will be starting next month on the Stanwell New Start scheme.

“We’re due to set up the site in mid-February. This will involve installing a site office and marking out the masterplan on the ground ahead of digging the foundations.

“We’ve been committed to working closely with residents since the very start, and look forward to continuing to do so as the project moves forward.”

There will be 11 houses and nine apartments for affordable rent constructed in the Long Lane area during the first phase of work, along with 16 houses and 16 apartments for private sale. The revenue generated from the private sale properties will be invested into the regeneration project, helping to fund the building of the future phases.

The first phase is expected to take about 12 months to complete, with show homes set to be launched in Summer/Autumn 2011.

As well as providing high quality new homes, the Stanwell New Start project involves improving open spaces, community facilities and extra care provision, including a new health centre and a children’s centre.
