About us
At this Land, we set the highest quality standards for the homes that we build across Cambridgeshire and the East of England and have a strong culture of working with and recognising the needs of communities, providing amenity land and going the extra mile wherever possible.
We also provide additional services to government agencies, including planning for infrastructure and potential funding opportunities.
We recognise that the purchase of one of our homes is a significant investment. We employ a design-led approach, embrace the latest construction methods and utilise cutting-edge technologies to ensure that every home we build is a beautiful, efficient and sustainable place to live, where precious memories can be created .
Equally important to the high quality build and finish of our homes is how our developments fit in with the communities they serve and the existing infrastructure.Similarly, our consideration of the local environment and its delicate biodiversity are key aspects of our development sites. We work with local communities to understand the dynamics and concerns and to find solutions that ensure any disruption and environmental impacts are kept to an absolute minimum.
The partnership between this Land and Cambridgeshire County Council provides the company with the stability and funding of a significant stakeholder, and has provided the Council with income of over £40million in interest payments from this Land since it was established. This strong alliance ensures that non-commercial priorities are equally matched, including our focus on more affordable housing, wider community benefits and higher quality products.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is central to our culture and all that we do at this Land.
We have developed our ESG Strategy by reviewing each aspect of ESG in turn:
Environmental:
the company’s impact on the natural environment and its response to the challenges of climate change including: greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, generation and use of renewable energy, biodiversity and habitats, impact on water resources and deforestation, pollution, efficient use of resources, the reduction and management of waste, and the environmental impact of the company’s supply chain.
Social:
the company’s interaction with employees, stakeholders and the communities in which it operates and the role of the company in society including: workplace policies (e.g. employee relations and engagement, diversity, non-discrimination and equality of treatment, health, safety and wellbeing), ethical/responsible sourcing and social aspects and labour standards of the supply chain (including child labour and modern slavery), and engagement with and contribution to the broader community through social projects and charitable donations.
Corporate Governance and Behaviour:
the ethical conduct of the company’s business including its corporate governance framework, business ethics, policies, code of conduct and the transparency of non-financial reporting. In each case we have analysed current and future issues and trends, how ESG matters relate to the company’s purpose, business strategy and risks, and identified the priorities, targets, key actions and the metrics we will use to report on the progress of our targets.
