Advised by Cluttons, the council has invited eighth developers to make proposals: Crest Nicholson Properties and Sainsbury Property Company; Friends Ivory & Sime/Friends Provident; Wilson Bowden Development; Berkeley Homes; Countryside Properties; Sellar Property Group; The Raven Group and Grainger Trust.
