South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Lead Cabinet Member for Planning, Cllr Dr. Tumi Hawkins, said: “Our congratulations to everyone involved in this ambitious, now award-winning scheme. We’re proud to have played our part in this high-quality design through the planning process and pre-application discussions. We’re pleased to have helped ensure the local community were able to feed into the design work too. This new neighbourhood will be a key part of the growing new town of Northstowe, helping make it a great place to live, work and play.”

House by Urban Splash a company backed by award-winning regeneration company Urban Splash, in partnership with Japanese-based Sekisui House the largest and most sustainable housebuilder in the world, and the UK government’s housing accelerator, Homes England. Together they are helping set the standard in delivering better quality homes and neighbourhoods across the country.

Mike Goulding, Project Director for Homes England said: “These are the first homes being built on Homes England’s land at Northstowe and it is really important that we work with our partners to ensure that the homes offer both great quality and design. We also want to encourage innovation in the construction industry and this scheme delivers both.”

Modern methods construction (MMC) produce significantly less waste, fewer carbon emissions from site traffic and are cleaner and more efficient than traditionally constructed homes.

The company will soon launch its unique sales pavilion, the first building to complete at Inholm; it will open this autumn 2020 when sales of the first homes hit the market.
