<p>The Church Commissioners have two strategic land sites at Peterborough; Paston
Reserve and Norwood. Both sites are allocated as residential urban extension sites
in Peterborough City Council’s adopted Core Strategy and Site Allocations Development
Plan Documents. It is the Commissioners’ intention, over the long term, to make these
sites available to facilitate the delivery of housing and other infrastructure.</p><p>
</p><p>Paston Reserve currently has planning permission for 1,050 houses, local facilities
(including a primary school), open space and other infrastructure. Development of
the first residential phase started on site in 2014, and comprises 87 houses. The
first houses on site were sold by the developer, Keepmoat, in early 2015. Discussions
in regard to a second phase of development are currently underway.</p><p>With respect
to Norwood, the Commissioners worked with the local planning authority through the
development plan process, which saw the site’s allocation for 2,300 new houses, and
are committed to bringing forward the land for development. Pre-application work is
currently being progressed with the other landowners across the site and initial discussions
have been had with Peterborough City Council about the site’s delivery and potential
timescales for an outline planning application.</p><p> </p>
