Aston Martin Site Update
http://douglasmccall.mycouncillor.org.uk/2016/01/20/aston-martin-update/aston-martin-3-buildings/ The three historic buildings on the old Aston Martin site.
An application will be put forward to Milton Keynes Council in February by Redrow Homes to build 91 dwellings on the old Aston Martin site in Tickford Street, Newport Pagnell, which has been purchased by Tesco.
The firm of house builders is anxious to obtain planning permission for the development but would like to give the 3 heritage buildings to Aston Martin Owners' Club for them to refurbish and put back into active use.
The 3 buildings - seen above - are, initially the 3 story building, built in 1910 for motor car manufacturing and is the only building of its type in UK fully equipped with a lift to move cars to different areas. Also the 2 story building, originally called the "Old Stable Block" so named because it was for building horse drawn carriages; formed in 1830 by Joseph Salmon. Finally "Sunnyside", the white building built in 1860, originally as two semi-detached buildings and became Aston Martin's Global HQ in the early 1960's.
Extensive negotiations between Aston Martin Owners' Club and Redrow Homes regarding the terms and conditions of this transaction. As Aston Martin Owners' Club would be renovating these buildings to be used as heritage museums, part of the negotiations involve clarification on car parking spaces in this vicinity for their use.
