Housing and Retail Development

Nene Waterfront | 300+ homes to be built

Fenland District Council is currently progressing the infrastructure development of the site in anticipation of a general economic recovery and ensure the construction of the 300 plus homes and associated shops without any further delay when the market improves.

The regeneration project will increase the population of Wisbech by approximately 900 people.

Any agreement with prospective house builders will ensure that 13 per cent of the properties (rather than 35 per cent) will be affordable and there will be off-street parking spaces created, together with dedicated on-street parking bays.

The core funding partners of Fenland District Council, the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), English Partnerships and the European Regeneration Development Fund administered by GO-East, are keen to demonstrate and promote the benefits of 'regeneration through partnerships'. Although the Council is monitoring the economic situation and will be looking to market the vacant sites at an appropriate time it is prepared to consider any serious expression of interest.

Any house builders interested in developing this attractive site should contact Steve Napier on 01354 622403 or on 07786 021945 or via email: snapier@fenland.gov.uk.
