Proposals by RLW Estates for 4,500 homes will be located next to Urban & Civic’s scheme
Plans drawn up by LDA Design for a 4,500-home new town in Cambridgeshire have been approved by the local council.
The outline plans for Waterbeach New Town East, for RLW Estates, were approved by members on South Cambridgeshire council at the end of January, allowing the development to progress to detailed designs.
RLW Estates is a consortium made up of Royal London, St John’s College, Cambridge, and Cambridge developer Turnstone Estates.
The development is separate to Urban & Civic’s 6,500-home Waterbeach new town, which is currently being developed on an adjacent site and which was given planning permission in May 2019.

Proposals by RLW Estates for 4,500 homes will be located next to Urban & Civic scheme
Plans by a consortium of developers for a 4,500-home new town in Cambridgeshire have been approved by the local council.
The outline plans for Waterbeach New Town East, drawn up by architect LDA Design for RLW Estates, were approved by members on South Cambridgeshire council late last week, allowing the development to progress to detailed designs.
RLW Estates is a consortium made up of Royal London, St John’s College, Cambridge, and Cambridge developer Turnstone Estates.
The development is separate to Urban & Civic’s 6,500-home Waterbeach new town, which is currently being developed on an adjacent site and which was given planning permission in May 2019.
“It’s just a completely, in every way round, unacceptable application”.
Few if any comments of explicit approval were made by councillors who voted for the application.

Cllr Pippa Heylings stressed that the decision was to grant outline permission; conditions would ensure “high standards” when the reserved matters application returns.
Fen Ditton, Horningsea, Landbeach, and Waterbeach parish councils had raised concerns over the impact on traffic.
They were also fearful of the scale of development and the risk of flooding.
Some councillors criticised the proposed density, provision of affordable housing, and the uncertainty over transport.
