The total cost of the project was £420,000 with a contribution of £375,000. It is now one of the best in the UK.
The Trent Rowing Club and Burton Leander Rowing Club can also be found on the banks opposite further down the river.
The site is within easy walking distance of the town centre, which boasts three excellent shopping centres, restaurants and leisure facilities. This unique location results in a superb network of transport links, making it a popular site for commuters working in the nearby major towns and cities.

Development in the Area
Burton-upon-Trent will be the location of the National Football Centre (NFC), due to be opened in 2010. This planned centre for football is to be run by the FA and is intended to be the training base for all England teams and act as the focal point for the FA’s coaching and player development work.
The development is set to include 13 pitches, a media centre and accommodation for up to 300 people. This new centre will create many new jobs and is to be built on a 360-acre swathe of greenbelt land.
There are also plans to build a 5,700 home eco town between Burton and Swadlincote on over 360 acres that will encroach on greenbelt land.
Plans for this eco town have been submitted as part of the Government’s aim to create 10 carbon neutral towns nationwide.
Developers claim the project will create 3,000 new jobs and consist of schools, a town centre with retail units and offices, community and learning resource centres, places of worship, a health clinic, parks and open spaces including allotments, and roads, footpaths and cycleways linking it to Swadlincote and Burton.
Furthermore, up to 850 homes could be built on 46 hectares of green field land between nearby Outwoods and Horninglow. A small centre with shops, nursery, medical centre, outdoor sports pitches, play area and school are also proposed.
The region has to find a large number of houses over the next few years with its spatial strategy and it can’t just build on brownfield land.
The possibility of Burton being required to build even more housing is a real one. The West Midlands Regional Assembly has already advised the Government that East Staffordshire has the capacity for around 13,000 new homes.
However, the Government has ordered consultants to conduct a study as it feels that the numbers proposed by the assembly are too low. This could see an extra 5,000 homes being built in Burton over the next 20 years.
The report hints it will be likely that virtually all of the extra homes will be built on greenbelt land close to Burton.
Access
The land can be accessed via two points on Meadow Road.
Land Prices
English farmland values rose by 6.9% in the second quarter of 2010. This takes growth over the past 12 months to 19.7%, according to the latest results of the Knight Frank Farmland Index.
The average price of farmland is at the highest level recorded by the index.
Prices are being driven up by a continuing shortage of supply and increased interest from private individuals.
The amount of farmland publicly advertised for sale so far this year has fallen by almost one third.
Values are predicted to rise further during 2010.
RICS Rural Land Market Survey H1 2010
The latest RICS Rural Land Market Survey reports that demand for farmland continues to rise whilst the supply of land has continued to decline. On average, bare land prices increased by 6% across England & Wales in the first half of 2010, but in the West Midlands pasture land prices increased by 8%.
Looking forward, surveyors expect farmland prices to continue rising over the next 12 months as a result of the supply/demand imbalance.
