en.Wedoany.com Reported - Taylor Wimpey East Anglia has obtained planning permission to build 272 new homes in the Alconbury Weald community, north of Huntingdon. The planning application was approved by Huntingdonshire District Council in May 2026, with construction scheduled to begin in late summer 2026 and the first homes expected to be launched for sale in March 2027.

The new homes will be located adjacent to Runway Park, which was formerly the runway of RAF Alconbury and is now part of the core open space within the Alconbury Weald community. Taylor Wimpey's planned housing mix includes one- to five-bedroom properties, comprising detached houses, apartments, and townhouses. Over 12% of the homes are designated as affordable housing, including social rent and shared ownership units.

This residential project is part of the Alconbury Weald master plan, which will ultimately deliver up to 6,500 homes, along with local employment, education, and community facilities. Andrew Wright, Acting Technical and Planning Director at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, stated that the company will not only build 272 new homes but also contribute to the 700-acre open space by creating a pocket park.

Mike Jenner, Development Manager at Urban&Civic, the overall developer of Alconbury Weald, said this is Taylor Wimpey's first residential project on the site and will further expand the community's housing choice and diversity. He noted that the third phase of the project will also provide supporting facilities including a health center, community center, library, shops and services, a sports center, and the future Runway Park.
