Richborough Estates has secured a resolution to grant planning permission from Fenland District Council for the delivery of 125 new homes in March, Cambridgeshire.
The homes are being built on a five hectare site off Princess Avenue and will offer a range of different types and sizes – 20% of the new homes will be affordable.
Alex Anderson, regional director of Richborough Estates said: “A huge thanks to everyone involved in securing committee approval, including Fenland Council who were proactive throughout the process.”
Simon Atha, director in the Midlands office of Boyer (part of Leaders Romans Group), which helped Richborough secure planning, added: “This was a real team effort from ourselves, Richborough Estates and wider design team to deliver a great outcome for March. The market town is understandably popular and the provision of new homes, specifically affordable housing, will go some way to addressing the shortage of homes in Cambridgeshire.
“In securing this planning consent we undertook extensive and proactive engagement with officers at Fenland District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council. This has ensured that the scheme will put in place the right infrastructure to deliver a high quality scheme that will contribute positively to the wider west of March strategic allocation.”
Richborough Estates intends to begin marketing the site this month, with a view to securing a housebuilder partner in the summer.
