Godwin Developments Acquires Site In Suffolk

Construction News Image
Godwin Developments has acquired a 3.5-acre site in Yaxley, Suffolk, with the aim of transforming it for roadside retail use.

The land is located on the A140 trunk road, next to a roundabout currently under construction which will support the wider improvement of the Eye Airfield area. When complete, the regional regeneration scheme adjacent to the site is set to provide 600 new homes, 230,000 sq. m. of industrial parkland, and is estimated to create 2,000 new jobs.

Godwin Developments' planned commercial roadside retail scheme will cater to the 5.4 million road users that travel along the A140 annually, with the route frequented by commuters between Norwich and Ipswich. The development, which will occupy land alongside Castleton Way, leading from Yaxley to Eye, is also positioned next to a large existing industrial estate in Langton Green.

Nikesh Solanki, development manager at Godwin Developments, said: "We are delighted to announce we have successfully secured another prominent roadside development opportunity. The site in Yaxley benefits from a great location alongside a very busy road. When complete it will align well with the current regeneration that is taking place in the area and will server commuters as well as the local community.

"We would like to thank Irwin Mitchell for the legal advice provided on this transaction, as well as land agents Clarke and Simpson. We look forward to working with the local community, statutory consultees, and Suffolk County Council in the next stage of this development."
