Cambridgeshire Partnerships: April 2010 E-shot

The Cambridge Challenge goes live

As we commence the delivery stage of Trumpington Meadows, the first of the Cambridge Challenge sites, Cambridgeshire Partnerships continues to move forward, in conjunction with its partners, to provide one of the most exciting programmes of affordable homes in the country.

Event to celebrate securing cambridgeshire partnership's first planning permission

An event hosted by Cambridgeshire Partnerships on 1 December 2009 marked the conclusion of two years hard work to secure CPL's first planning permission.

Groundbreaking grant funding provides 40% affordable housing

A groundbreaking agreement between Cambridgeshire Partnerships and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) will deliver 40% of the 1,200 homes at Trumpington Meadows as affordable housing. This will be funded by a grant of nearly £10 million from the HCA.

10% supported housing agreed across all sites

The Accessible Housing Task Group, made up of representatives from Cambridgeshire Partnerships, Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council, is seeking to achieve 10% of affordable housing as supported housing across all Cambridge Challenge sites.

Consultants appointed to deliver Cambridge Challenge

The three locations chosen for the Cambridge Challenge will provide up to 16,000 new homes by 2021. Cambridgeshire Partnerships has been appointed to deliver the first 3,300 affordable homes on these sites. Part of our preparation for the delivery of the 3,300 new homes involved the selection of a wide range of external consultants from six key services / disciplines. Following a rigorous selection process, Cambridgeshire Partnerships has appointed these consultants.
