Planning approval has been granted for 272 new homes near Huntington – close to the former runway of RAF Alconbury.
Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has been given the green light by Huntington District Council to build a mix of one to five-bedroom homes on land at Alconbury Weald.
More than 12% of the homes will be designated for affordable housing, including affordable rent and shared ownership.
Planning approval was granted in May, with work set to commence in late summer.
Andrew Wright, Acting Technical and Planning Director at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said: “We’re pleased to have received planning approval for our new homes at Alconbury Weald.
“The development already has a thriving community of new homes, open green space and community facilities that we’re proud to become a part of.
“Not only will we be building 272 new homes at Alconbury Weald, but we will also be contributing to the 700 acres of open space with our own pocket park.
“We look forward to work commencing shortly and seeing the Alconbury Weald community continue to grow.”
This new development will form part of the wider Alconbury Weald masterplan, which is set to deliver up to 6,500 houses, local employment, education and community facilities.
The first of the 272 new homes are expected to go on sale in March 2027.
Mike Jenner, Development Manager for Alconbury Weald master developer Urban and Civic, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Taylor Wimpey to Alconbury Weald.
“These will be their first homes here, further expanding the choice and diversity of homes available to those looking to join the Alconbury Weald community.
“Alongside new homes, Phase 3 will deliver a range of key amenities including a health centre, community centre and library, shops and services, a sports hub and the future Runway Park, supporting the continued growth of Alconbury Weald as a vibrant and well-connected place to live.”
