MARSTON VALLEY – WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER

Over the next 20 years, Marston Valley could bring significant new infrastructure, community facilities and up to 5,000 homes for the Marston Vale in Bedfordshire.

The aim is to create an exceptional living environment where people will be proud to live and work, and will want to visit. Marston Valley is about taking a strategic, long-term approach to planning for the wider needs of the area, not just building houses.

Marston Valley will be made up of a series of linked villages, each with its own individual character, and its own village centre with local shops and new community facilities.

The development will also deliver a new waterway connecting existing lakes, new woodland planting and lots of green space while respecting the identity of neighbouring villages as separate entities. New jobs, new schools, leisure facilities, better public transport and health facilities all feature in the plans.
