Margaret's right. This word is used sooo much in my office (Architecture/engineering consultancy) and it is really hard to find a good translation, it depends on context. It can be landscaping, urban development, a complex, a real estate development, urban planning......

Real estate development

It is usually a housing project; sometimes selling only land or land including a house already built or to be built. It is part of a district. For instance, in Peru, Lima, Urb. Higuereta, district Surco, province Lima.

Housing development

I am assuming that this is for a UK audience (since you're based in the UK) and I think we would tend to call it a "housing development" over here. However, as the others have suggested, it would depend on the rest of the context.

Please see links below.

Urban development (but need more context)

I would use urban development in this case.

In architecture/construction projects "urban development" of the area around the building to be built, (the stadium in this case) usually refers to the adaptation of the area around it for its use, like entrances and exits, pavements and roads, kerbs (sidewalks in US), plants, streetlamps, drainage installations etc etc, everything needed around the building to make it "urban".

Hope this makes sense, as I mentioned above in the discussion entry this word crops up at least once a week in my line of work and without any more context it's a bit tricky....

A good example: The company I work for designs airports and airport terminals, and a lot of the time terminal projects are referred to as "el edificio terminal y su urbanización asociada". This is translated as "the terminal building and its associated urban development".

In the scope of works the "urbanización" of a building is priced apart from the actual building itself.

Suerte!
