Cheffins, which handled the application, was granted approval for the scheme by South Cambridgeshire District Council on 29th June.
Located on the Digital Park site, this new development will span 2.42 hectares, to the western side of Station Road, close to the Guided Busway. Cheffins achieved planning permission on behalf of the landowner, Middlereach Ltd, along with the collaboration of developers Homes England and Endurance Estates. This site will be in addition to the larger Northstowe Extension, being developed by Homes England and Endurance Estates, which is set to deliver 4,000 new homes across 210 hectares.
The new homes on the Digital Park site will comprise a mix of dwellings including affordable homes and are set to be delivered in over the next 24 months.
Adam Tuck, Head of Planning at Cheffins comments: “This site on Digital Park will form a part of this exciting new settlement, which is set to be the largest new town in the UK since the creation of Milton Keynes. The scheme will be a sustainable development, with large amounts of green space and significant section 106 contributions, ensuring that it plays a beneficial role in the development of Northstowe as a whole. This was a complex application, which needed significant collaboration between Cheffins, the Council, the landowner and other developers on the Northstowe site.”
