Paget Road, Cambridge approved at planning committee this week!

This proposal for two semis in Trumpington is the first scheme of Cambridge City Council’s small sites programme to be approved. It is designed to a high level of detail ahead of planning to Passive House Low Energy Building, Part O, and 30% biodiversity net gain.

The project has involved extensive feasibility looking at site layout, net zero, and Passive House options and has been developed with DCH Construction (who have been appointed early) to ensure affordability and viability. The proposal responds to neighbours’ concerns with traditional materials, reducing roof height by 900mm and increasing biodiversity.

The semis are grouped closely facing each other around a shared garden, providing opportunities for bumping into neighbours, play and planting for biodiversity.
