Location
The land is situated to the north of Houghton Regis, west of the M1 between the motorway and the A5120. Lands Improvement owns or controls some 100 Hectares of predominantly agricultural land.

Development proposals
The land has been highlighted within the area of search for growth under the Milton Keynes Sub Regional Strategy for the Luton/Dunstable/Houghton Regis – Leighton Linslade urban growth area.

Lands Improvement is working in a consortium with adjoining landowners AXA, ORS plc and Fox Land & Property to promote the combined land interest of some 391 Hectares for a sustainable, integrated urban extension comprising new residential and employment uses, local centres, community infrastructure and facilities.

The local authorities have combined to form a Joint Planning & Transportation Committee (JPTC) and are currently preparing a joint Local Development Framework.

The consortium is working with the JPTC to provide supporting technical information to assist with developing options for growth.
