A 340-home development in the village of Sawtry will bring a number of two, three and four bedroom homes to market.
There will be 138 homes from housebuilder Allison Homes Central and 202 from Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, while 40% of the homes will be delivered as ‘affordable’.
The two developers will contribute over £5.6 million to Huntingdonshire District Council towards local infrastructure, which will fund Wellside Surgery, sports facilities, early years and primary education facilities and support improvements to bus routes.
Allison Homes has now commenced construction work on the site, with Taylor Wimpey set to begin in July 2026.
Sophie Kendal, land and partnerships director at Allison Homes Central, said: “We are incredibly proud to have partnered with Taylor Wimpey on what is a very exciting development for us at Allison Homes.
“By working with Taylor Wimpey, we will be offering a greater mix of homes for local people looking to move on or up the property ladder, creating a development with diverse and attractive street scenes in keeping with the local vernacular and pooling together the expertise of two highly regarded developers.
“We are looking forward to bringing our high-quality, sustainable new homes to Sawtry, and to working in partnership to bring this development to life.”
Land will be provided to Cambridgeshire County Council for the construction of a new primary school, and over 4.5 hectares of public open space will be delivered, including a neighbourhood equipped area for play and allotments.
Jessica Cooper, land and planning director at Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, said: “This development is about more than just new homes – it’s about creating a vibrant, sustainable community for Sawtry. We’re pleased to be working with Allison Homes to deliver a wide range of high-quality homes and green spaces, while also contributing towards improving local facilities.
“We’re proud to be helping support the community’s long-term growth and we look forward to watching the development progress and welcoming new residents.”
