Matalan Site

Stevenage, UK

Stevenage is undergoing a significant programme of regeneration which has been led by Stevenage Borough Council (SBC). SBC is seeking to reinvigorate the centre of Stevenage and create a destination town centre with a combined retail, leisure and residential offer.

The regeneration of the site presents a significant opportunity to deliver a high-density residential-led development in a key gateway location in the town centre. The site extends to 1.2ha and benefits from outline planning consent for 526 homes, 700m2 of ground floor retail space and 175 parking spaces. In order to hit the viable price point, Introba have analysed a number of different options from a cost and carbon perspective to ensure best value for compliance and delivering a system that won’t subject future tenants to fuel poverty.

Introba have worked with The Guinness Partnership (TGP) team on the successful planning application and the approved scheme is committed to deliver 5% affordable housing.
