Work has begun on a scheme of almost 1,500 new homes in Great Haddon, near Peterborough.
Vistry East Midlands has started on site at 1,499-home Great Haddon Wood, part of a 5,350-home extension to the south-west of Peterborough, off the A15 London Road, next to the village of Yaxley.
Great Haddon Wood will include homes built for private sale by Vistry East Midlands under the company’s Bovis Homes and Linden Homes brands but at least 240 will be affordable.
Fraser Hopes, managing director of Vistry East Midlands, said: “The start of construction work at Great Haddon Wood marks an incredibly important step in the creation of this major urban extension to Peterborough.
“Vistry East Midlands will be building 992 homes. Our Linden Homes development will be known as Haddon Green and Bovis Homes will operate as Haddon Peake.
“In addition to these much-needed new homes, our development will also provide vital infrastructure to support this new neighbourhood, including land for a new primary school, sporting and community facilities.”
Vistry has agreed a partnership with affordable homes provider Sage Homes in which Sage will buy more than 50 of the properties.
