New Co-op and 10 flats proposed for Hampton

A planning application has been submitted by The Abbey Group Cambs Ltd and O&H Properties Ltd to the city council for land south of Waterhouse Way and east of Westbury Drive.

The proposals are part of a wider plan for the area, with separate applications also being submitted for a two-storey children’s day nursery and three-storey care home.

If the application is approved there would be eight, two-bedroom flats and two, one-bedroom flats.

The flats would have 18 parking spaces while the Co-op would have 24.

The new store is expected to be open from 7am until 11pm seven days a week, with the building accessed from a new road from Waterhouse Way which would be shared with the proposed nursery.

A brick built single-storey electricity sub-station is also proposed to serve the development and the other two proposals.
