Phase 2
Cambridge Road Estate
In July 2022, a hybrid planning permission was granted for the regeneration masterplan (Planning Reference: 20/02942/FUL), including detailed plans for Phase 1, and outline plans for Phases 2–5, to deliver 2,170 new homes.
We have now submitted the Reserved Matters Application (RMA) for Phase 2 to the Local Planning Authority. These plans confirm the number of new homes, the building layouts and materials, and completing the landscape plan.
The planning documents we have submitted are available to view by clicking here, or you can use the reference number 25/02075/ARM in the search tool.
We have spent the last year developing our designs and we want to thank everyone who has taken the time to view and share feedback on our plans as they have evolved.
What is included in Phase 2?
The submitted Reserved Matters Application (RMA) for Phase 2, focuses on the look and feel of the buildings, heights, materiality, ensuring we build the right type and size of homes.
Phase 2 proposals include:
- 383 new homes for Cambridge Road Estate secure tenants, resident leaseholders and freeholders who wish to remain on the Estate, and new purchasers.
- Well-lit active open spaces for leisure and play.
- New landscaped spaces, including along Washington Road, improving connections to the wider community and neighbourhood.
- Promotion of sustainable transport, alongside some car parking spaces.
- Improved security and safety to reduce levels of crime, working closely with Secured by Design officers.
- Continuing the community benefits established in Phase 1, through Community Chest funding, with Community Board input and collaboration with local schools.
What is a Reserved Matters Application? Or 'RMA'?
A Reserved Matters Application (RMA) follows a successful Outline Planning Permission. It focuses on the finer details of the development that the Outline Planning Permission does not include, such as detailed designs of building layouts, materials used throughout buildings, and landscaping. These details are then submitted for approval to the Local Planning Authority before construction can begin.
Therefore, an RMA is necessary to allow us to start building new homes in Phase 2. Now, we will be focusing on the details of the buildings and landscaping, and we will need your input.
