The site is situated four miles east of Central Milton Keynes, adjacent to both the A421 and Newport Road which provides a direct link to the M1 and 4.5 miles from Milton Keynes Central Railway Station. The station provides services to London Euston as quick as 35 minutes at peak times with up to nine services running each hour.

Myron Osborne, Chief Executive of Catesby Estates, said: “This parcel of land in Milton Keynes was obtained as part of our parent company Urban&Civic’s acquisition of L&Q Estates last year, which saw us significantly increase our land promotion portfolio.”

“With L&Q Estates bringing forward or promoting all other elements of the Glebe Meadows neighbourhood, we are pleased to have sold the final parcel of land to be delivered here to Central Co-op and look forward to seeing the land transformed into new retail space for the existing community.”

Paul Shepherd, Senior Acquisition Manager at Central  Co-op said: We’re delighted to be bringing a new community-focused local centre to Wavendon. Central Co-op is committed to serving growing neighbourhoods with convenient, ethical retail and this development marks an important step in our plans to support local communities with accessible, high-quality services."
