Glebe Farm development plans
The Glebe Farm site is bounded by Bishop's Road, Hauxton Road, Shelford Road and the new Addenbrooke's Access Road. The 9 ha site is part of a larger farm that was allocated to the local church at the time of the enclosure award in the early 19th century (Vicarage or Glebe Farm).
An outline planning application was submitted to the City Council in March 2008, amended in August 2008 and approved in October 2008. The full application was submitted in December 2009. The outline planning agreement and S106 agreement was signed in August 2010. The development is by Countryside Properties.
The housing development will consist of 300 dwellings. There will be one road access to the site, from the southern side where Addenbrooke's Road runs between Hauxton Road and Shelford Road. There will be a main route around the site, with residential developments and green areas. The overall development will be made up of 70% houses and 30% apartments, with 40% affordable housing.
The Residents' Association made a number of responses to the application.
In October 2010, Countryside announced that work would start on site and that the development would share the marketing name 'Great Kneighton' with Clay Farm. The Residents' Association strongly disagreed with the marketing name, which is an inappropriate and historically inaccurate name which detracts from the community's sense of place and belonging.
State of the development
The site is being marketed by Countryside properties with the overall marketing name Great Kneighton (which local residents strongly reject) and the specific marketing name Novo.
See below for photographs of the development work. |
