Why Here

• Positioned within the Oxford–Cambridge Arc, the site plays a vital role in the wider Cambridgeshire economy;
• By capitalising on the legacy of the A14 upgrade, it delivers crucial housing to support the county’s high-growth clusters while directly relieving pressure on the Cambridge housing market;
• Entirely in Flood Zone 1 and free from the environmental and heritage constraints that limit alternative options across the county;
• The descending land form is highly advantageous providing a natural topography that allows new development to be integrated sensitively and discreetly within the wider landscape setting;
• Under single promotion with unanimous landowner support, the site guarantees exceptional delivery certainty without relying on complex, costly strategic infrastructure;
• The two new self-sustaining villages can reliably meet both local and county-wide growth needs from the outset of the plan period.

Strategically, The Lattenburys acts as a vital bridge between the local needs of Huntingdonshire and the wider Cambridgeshire economy.

• Locally, the site supports the vitality of Huntingdon, St Ives, and Godmanchester by concentrating growth in a highly sustainable location rather than dispersing it into sensitive rural villages;
• Regionally, it provides high-quality housing to support the county’s high-growth employment clusters, helping to relieve pressure on the Cambridge housing market;
• Enclosed by the A14, A1198, and A1307, the site sits at a major infrastructure crossroads, enjoying rapid road access to major employment hubs in Cambridge, Peterborough, and Alconbury Weald;
• Being located less than 5km from Huntingdon railway station ensures fast, direct rail connections to London and the wider region, integrating the site perfectly into Cambridgeshire’s strategic transport network.
