Kingsbrook in Aylesbury is an award-winning, nature-first housing development by Barratt Redrow, created in partnership with the RSPB. Spanning 756 acres, it will deliver:

2,450 homes across three distinct villages
400 acres of green space, including a 250-acre nature reserve
490 affordable units

All designed to integrate biodiversity and community wellbeing from the outset, this sustainable new neighbourhood has nature at its heart, with:

RSPB monitoring has shown a 96% increase in starlings, 72% rise in Whitethroats, and a doubling of bumblebee populations, despite ongoing construction.
