Planning History

Outline planning permission was granted in August 2010 for up to 2,300 homes on the Abode at Cambridge site, of which Proctor and Matthews' scheme forms part.

A planning application for the Proctor and Matthews scheme was submitted in February 2011 and planning consent was granted in July 2011.

The Design Process

Presentations were also made to the Cambridge Design Panel; the Cambridge Disability Access Group; Great Shelford Parish Council; Stapleford Parish Council; and Haslingfield Parish Council.
