Public exhibition in Sawtry today

We're looking forward to seeing lots of local residents when we launch a public consultation in Sawtry this evening about plans for a development of around 350 new homes on land off Glatton Road, Sawtry.

The proposed development would include a mixture of one and two-storey properties ranging from one to four-bedroom homes and a number of bungalows. The homes would be designed to meet the needs of a range of people from first-time buyers to families. Some of the homes would be ‘affordable’ to assist those struggling to get onto the ‘property ladder’.

The proposal also includes space for new community facilities as well as areas of public open space, including play areas for children.

We are holding a public exhibition of the proposals this evening (Monday 19 March 2018) between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm at Sawtry Village Academy Library, Fen Lane, Sawtry, PE28 5TH. If you live in Sawtry or nearby, please do come along!

Members of the development project team will be on hand at the exhibition to answer questions about the proposals. Feedback forms will also be available to allow people to leave their comments and ideas.

David Morris, our senior land manager, said: “The new development in Sawtry would provide much-needed housing and space for new community facilities which will benefit new and existing residents.

“We are keen to work with the local community to try and help address existing issues such as constrained community facilities and provisions for the young community in Sawtry village. The opportunity for input from the local community is an important part of the planning process and I would like to encourage people to attend the public exhibition 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/sawtry.
