The plans – submitted by YTL Developments UK Ltd – include the construction of 2,675 new homes on the 354-acre site in addition to three schools, recreational areas, community facilities, a doctor’s surgery and a new railway station.
The plans also include the provision for 62 acres of employment space, which is expected to create thousands of new jobs.
Detailed designs have not yet been finalised, however, the company is planning for the new homes to feature built-in ‘smart’ technology.
The final design will also include the Concorde Museum and aero collection, as well as the refurbishment of a historic listed spitfire hangar.
