Final phase of Cambridge’s Newbury Farm homes approved

Cambridge City Council’s planning committee has approved the development of 150 homes as part of the third and final phase of residential development at Newbury Farm. The decision was made in line with the planning officer’s recommendation last week.  The proposals, brought forward by Cambridge Investment Partnership in joint venture with Hill Investment Partnerships, aim to tackle Cambridge’s affordable housing shortage. The outline planning application for the wider masterplan, comprising 230 homes across three phases, was approved in 2021. The first phase, focused primarily on vehicular routes, was completed in 2022, with the second phase, comprising a reserved matters planning application for 80 homes, approved in August last year. The latest reserved matters proposals, designed by BPTW and Guarda, comprise the remaining homes and more than 4,000 sq ft of commercial space. Carter Jonas advised the jv on planning. Image © BPTW
