Plans for four new affordable homes in Orton Longueville, Peterborough

Plans have been submitted by Cross Keys Homes to create four new affordable homes in Orton Longueville.

The homes would be created at The Crescent, Orton Longueville and would require the demolition of the existing one-storey apartment building currently located at 10 The Crescent.

The proposed homes would be a mixture of two and three bedrooms, each with their own front and rear gardens and two car parking spaces.

The proposed development would provide shared ownership and social homes.

The application states: “To conclude, the proposed redevelopment of the site has advanced through the careful consideration of multiple factors including the impact upon immediate neighbours and the extend of the existing building, culminating in a proposal which intends to improve the local character of the area and address current affordable housing demand.

“Special care has been taken to ensure that the proposal enhances the built environment for the benefit of all.

“Fundamentally, we propose the redevelopment of a vacant building in Peterborough in a thoughtful, considered manner to provide high quality housing.

“We believe that the proposed development will be a welcomed change to The Crescent and will enhance the character of the area.”

The application can be viewed on Peterborough City Council’s planning portal using reference 23/01659/FUL.
