Cambridge Investment Partnership has been granted planning permission for 75 new homes, 100% affordable, to be built on Parcel L2, Orchard Park after a revised planning application was submitted by CIP and Mole Architects.
The highly sustainable development has been designed to feature two apartments blocks and a row of coach houses and will be ‘gas free’ with air source heat pumps, biodiverse green roofs, six electric charging spaces, one hybrid/electric car club vehicle and above policy cycle parking provision for 124 bike spaces.
The land was purchased in open market and we worked closely with the local community through public consultations with comments incorporated in the final design of the scheme. We also involved them in the masterplan to improve the adjacent public open space which will include extensive recreational and biodiversity improvements along with a community growing garden, pergola and seating area, trim trail, running track, table tennis table and generous planting.
