Construction News Image
The final phase of plans to develop Newbury Farm, Cambridge, have been green-lit.

The development will deliver 150 mixed-tenure houses and apartments, as well as community and commercial spaces to enhance both the project's appeal and functionality, thanks to an equal partnership between Cambridge City Council and award-winning housebuilder The Hill Group.

The partnership, labelled Cambridge Investment Partnership (CIP), received unanimous approval by Cambridge City Council.

Tom Hill, Managing Director of The Hill Group said: "As a partnership, we are committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable new homes that meet Cambridge’s growing housing needs.

“We are pleased to be bringing forward this mixed tenure development which will include vibrant community spaces and essential commercial facilities, fostering a sense of place and connectivity for residents."

The Newbury Farm project will offer a wide range of homes, from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom houses, with the larger properties and apartment blocks situated centrally within the site.

Included are three apartment blocks with 35 one-bedroom, 19 two-bedroom and three three-bedroom flats. Additionally, it will offer 18 two-bedroom, 48 three-bedroom, 21 four-bedroom, and six five-bedroom houses.

Of the 150 new homes, 60 will be designated as affordable housing, including all the apartments and three of the three-bedroom houses, which continues CIP's commitment to addressing Cambridge's housing needs. 

Cllr Gerri Bird, Executive Councillor for Housing at Cambridge City Council and CIP board member, said: "Being granted planning permission to develop this final phase at Newbury Farm is another great example of the progress we are making to address the city's housing affordability crisis."

Extensive community consultation led by BPTW, the lead architects for all three phases, has informed the final design, ensuring that the development aligns with the needs of the council, residents and local businesses.
