The new housing development will be constructed at Cotterstock Meadows, on the plot of land to the east of Cotterstock Road and to the west of the River Nene.

• 74 private sale homes

A family-friendly development, the private homes will include a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes. Construction is set to go ahead later this year, with homes expected to go on sale as early as summer 2022.
