A Cambridgeshire village could get 80 new homes if plans go ahead. Martin Grant Land Limited proposes to build up to 80 homes on land at Pendrick Close in Coton, approximately two miles west of Cambridge.
The plans, submitted by Stantec, on behalf of Martin Grant Land Limited also propose a new public open space as well as a play area. They want to build the homes to help “meet the needs of the residents which would also be of benefit to existing local residents”.
If approved, the development would create over 200 jobs, including apprenticeship opportunities. Local businesses are also expected to benefit from the development.
The application said: “Future residents would also contribute towards local spending to the benefit of business in Cambridge. The site would therefore contribute to expansion of the local economy.”
The outline form does not provide house types at this stage. The developer added: “Future house types will be guided by the existing vernacular in the area to ensure it assimilates into the village.”
Of the homes, half would be made available as affordable housing, which the plans say would benefit people moving to the area “by offering a varied housing mix”.
