Berkeley Group was honoured to welcome The UK Prime Minister to its Eastbrook Village development in Milton Keynes on 13th February 2025 as the Government unveiled a key report from the New Towns Task Force.
Eastbrook Village is a major urban extension being delivered by Berkeley in partnership with Milton Keynes City Council and Homes England.
Rob Perrins, Chief Executive of Berkeley Group, said: "We were delighted to welcome the Prime Minister to Milton Keynes today as we continue to work with all levels of government to speed up housing delivery and drive growth."
"Our Eastbrook Village project is a brilliant example of national government, local authorities and the development sector working together to unlock complex sites and deliver the crucial social and transport infrastructure needed to support thousands of new homes and jobs."
"This major urban extension of Milton Keynes embodies everything the Government is doing to tackle the housing crisis and create sustainable neighbourhoods fit for the future."
The Prime Minister was met by Chris Curtis, MP for Milton Keynes North alongside Rob Perrins, Piers Clanford, Berkeley Group COO, Elkie Russell, Managing Director of Berkeley Homes Oxford & Chiltern, Laura Gallagher St Joseph Health and Safety Manager and Stephen Kirwan St Joseph Managing Director. He also spent time talking to 15 of Berkeley Group’s up-and-coming apprentices.
Eastbrook Village is on course to deliver up to 4,600 low-carbon private and affordable homes, alongside a new strategic road network, three primary schools, a secondary school, essential services, healthcare facilities, and community hubs.
Berkeley’s masterplan also includes over 260 acres of public open space, including a magnificent 150-acre country park and over 4 million sq ft of employment space.
