The Carter Jonas Masterplanning team prepared a vision document for Plaza Land Limited to help promote new development on the edge of Godmanchester.
Land East of Roman’s Edge is being planned for a new development of between 800 - 1200 new homes and will deliver a variety of new energy efficient market and affordable homes to suit local need.
The project aspires to cater for all age groups and housing needs, set within 44 hectares of new publicly accessible open space to enjoy. The vision is about more than delivering new homes, it’s about community and the environment. In addition to new homes and open spaces, the proposals will deliver new community facilities, including a two form entry primary school site, allotments, children’s play spaces, together with significant ecological and biodiversity enhancements, renewable energy from a solar energy park and a relief road.
Our Proposal included:
- 800-1200 homes, including 40% affordable;
- 44 hectares of public open space, including children’s play, parkland and recreation space;
- New cycle and footpath infrastructure connecting into central Godmanchester;
