Middle Quinton - A new Eco-town Community

Background

Map of the proposed locationIn response to the Government’s initiative for the development of ten Eco - towns in the UK, St Modwen and The Bird Group have proposed to build a technically advanced Eco - town on a 240 hectare (600 acre) rail linked brownfield site, six miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. It is our vision that this development will not only create considerable employment for its residents and neighbours, but it would be a self supporting town where the quality of life and a well balanced environment are designed to be at the forefront of our objectives.

Middle Quinton will be an integrated advanced Eco - town, benchmarked to sustainable standards, which we believe will be a blueprint for future communities to aspire to high Eco standards.

Further to the submission to Communities and Local Government of an Ecotown proposal for Middle Quinton, St Modwen and The Bird Group considered it important to provide additional information in respect of the environmental technology and sustainable construction methods, together with the social fabric which will underpin the new Eco-town.

St Modwen and The Bird Group are committed to delivering:

• Social progress, recognising the needs of all;

• Effective protection of the environment;

• Prudent use of natural resources; and,

• Maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employment.
