Eddeva Park a new 230 home development in Cambridge

This Land has secured outline planning permission for a 230-home development on the south-east fringes of Cambridge.

The development, which will be called ‘Eddeva Park’ sits between Worts’ Causeway and Babraham Road. Located on Cambridge’s urban edge, the development presents a fantastic opportunity for a high quality new residential development in a sustainable location that is well served by local facilities, employment centres, and public transport links.

This Land’s vision is focused around high quality design and place making that will help to provide choice for local residents and a highly desirable place to call home. The proposals have been carefully designed to support Cambridge City Council’s desire to tackle climate change by minimising energy use wherever possible across the development and promoting cycling and walking.

Key Points

A mix of 230 high quality new family homes including the provision of 40% affordable homes to meet local demands and needs.
Delivery of a new community centre and well designed areas of accessible open spaces targeted to bring the new and existing communities together.
A carefully designed scheme to respect its unique setting, surrounded by a landscape of rolling hills.
Designed to 40% above current sustainability standards.

Summary

This Land has produced a scheme that is an exciting opportunity to help Cambridge City Council deliver on its Local Plan, as well as meet the council’s ambition for a greener future with a development that minimises energy usage and creates new habitats to let wildlife thrive.

Applications to cover the detailed design of the development will be brought forward in 2022.
