Phase 2
Cambridge Road Estate
Masterplan
In July 2022, a hybrid planning permission was granted for the regeneration masterplan (Planning Reference: 20/02942/FUL), including detailed plans for Phase 1, and outline plans for Phases 2–5, to deliver 2,170 new homes.
We are now using what we have learned so far to prepare detailed designs for Phase 2. Later this year, we will be submitting a Reserved Matters Application (RMA) for Phase 2 to the Local Planning Authority.
The Outline Planning Permission sets the rules for where buildings go, how tall they can be, and what they are used for. Now, we are focusing on the look and feel of the buildings, getting the size right, and planning the planting and landscaping.
We would like to work with residents as we progress the plans for Phase 2. We look forward to hearing your thoughts over the coming months.
What is a Reserved Matters Application? Or 'RMA'?
A Reserved Matters Application (RMA) follows a successful Outline Planning Permission. It focuses on the finer details of the development that the Outline Planning Permission does not include, such as detailed designs of building layouts, materials used throughout buildings, and landscaping. These details are then submitted for approval to the Local Planning Authority before construction can begin.
Therefore, an RMA is necessary to allow us to start building new homes in Phase 2. Now, we will be focusing on the details of the buildings and landscaping, and we will need your input.
