Plans put forward for 180 new homes to link Hampton in Peterborough to Yaxley
Plans have been put forward for 180 new homes to link Yaxley to Peterborough.
An outline planning application has been submitted by O&H Properties Limited to create a large new development on land described as ‘Hampton Woods’ in between Peterborough and Yaxley.
The total site area (6.79 hectares) adjoins Hampton Gardens and Water and the boundary of the development area will reach Broadway in Yaxley. It is approximately 300m north of Yaxley at the moment.
The site forms part of the wider Hampton and Hampton East Urban Extension which will eventually provide around 5,000 homes.
According to the plans, building heights would be between two and three storeys across the application site.
Vehicle access to the site would be via the primary road connecting to the existing Persimmon development.
A shared pedestrian and cycleway would be provided as part of the development, as well as an additional path into the future Hampton Country Park.
There would also be a new village green with a children’s play area.
The application states: “The design parameters and guidelines of the proposed development will positively contribute to the character and appearance of the area, as well as relate well to the principles of the Hampton East Urban Extension outline permission.
"Significant design work has been undertaken on the proposed development, to ensure that it aligns with the responses received at the pre-application stage, and represents a high-quality design which optimises the site."
Comments on the application have been invited while it is considered by Huntingdonshire District Council. The application can be viewed on its planning portal using reference 26/01642/OUT.
