Plan for ‘Labour-style’ 6,000-home new town in Oxfordshire: How will this impact Plant Hire Hungerford?

The recent unveiling of plans for a 6,000-home new town in Oxfordshire marks a significant development in the region’s housing landscape. Designed in line with Labour Government guidelines for next-generation large housing schemes, this project aims to transform the former RAF Upper Heyford airfield into a vibrant community. The ambitious plans include not only residential homes but also schools, a village centre, a railway station, and sustainable infrastructure like a wind turbine park. This development is set to bring about substantial changes to the local economy, particularly in the construction sector and for Plant Hire Hungerford and other local areas. 

The Scope of the Project

Dorchester Living, the developer behind this project, has outlined a vision for a mixed-use community that embraces sustainability and modern living. The new town is expected to become a hub of activity, with a diverse range of amenities and infrastructure designed to meet the needs of its future residents. As with any large-scale construction project, the demand for construction equipment and services will be considerable. There will be new opportunities for construction and plant hire companies.
