Planning permission was granted in 2024 for the development, which will provide:
- Eight one-bedroom flats
- Ten two-bedroom flats
- Nine three-bedroom houses
The scheme, constructed by Palace Green Homes, is supported by funding from Homes England and the new homes are expected to start handing over early in 2026.
All of the new homes will be available for social rent, helping to meet the growing demand for affordable housing across Ely and the wider district.
Scott Bailey, our Director of Development, said:
“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Palace Green Homes and East Cambridgeshire District Council to deliver these much-needed affordable homes. This development will give more families access to good-quality, secure housing at social rent.”
Councillor Anna Bailey, Leader of East Cambridgeshire District Council, said:
“We feel very strongly that people should not be forced to live away from the communities they have been brought up in and love simply because they cannot afford to live here.
“These 27 new affordable homes, available for social rent, will be a significant addition to the work already undertaken by the council to help people who are struggling to find quality affordable homes and we are proud that our development company is working in partnership with Havebury to deliver this much needed housing.”
