Eco-Town Proposal
In July 2007 the government invited expressions of interest in the development of Eco-towns. St Modwen and the Bird Group submitted an expression of interest to the Government for the development of an Eco-town of 6000 dwellings which they are referring to as 'Middle Quinton'. The site includes the former Engineers Depot at Long Marston.
