Larkfleet plans new housing in Eye

We are launching a public consultation on proposals for a development of up to 280 new homes on land east of Eyebury Road, Eye, near Peterborough.

The proposed development would include primarily two-storey properties ranging from one to four-bedroom homes for first-time buyers and families. Some of the homes would be ‘affordable’ to assist those struggling to get onto the ‘property ladder’.

The proposals would also provide additional land to allow for an extension to Eye Primary School and provide a new access to the school. 

A letter is being distributed to local residents providing information about the proposals, along with details about a public exhibition which is being held on Tuesday 22 May, between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm at Eye Primary School, Eyebury Road, Eye, PE6 7TD.

Members of the development project team will be on hand at the exhibition to answer questions about the proposals and people will also be able to complete a feedback form with their comments.

Mark Mann, planning director at Larkfleet Homes, said: “There is both a national and local need for new homes. The site has been allocated for housing by Peterborough City Council in the submission version of its new local plan and is key to helping meet housing needs in the area.

“The new development in Eye would provide much-needed housing and we are keen to consult with local residents on these proposals. We would like to encourage people to attend the public exhibition on 22 May where they can ask questions and provide us with their feedback.”

The proposed plans are also available to view online at www.larkfleetplanning.co.uk/eye.

People can also call 0800 975 5852 if they have any queries or e-mail consultation@athene-communications.co.uk.
