The housing and land market despite unprecedented wider economic issues due to the ongoing pandemic, is buoyant. As a business we remain optimistic regarding the year ahead, with 6 consented sites ready for the market. But much remains to be seen if demand for homes remains at the inflated levels currently being experienced.
We will continue to work with multi-disciplinary partners to ensure we bring forward sites which are sensitively designed, sustainable, positively address climate change issues and help provide much needed new homes, in line with the Governments’ desire to support economic recovery through development.
Recent planning successes and sales, places emphasis on the replenishing of our land sites to ensure we continue to have a strong pipeline of unconsented sites to promote. We continue to work closely with agents and landowners, and are always looking for more sites, please don’t hesitate to contact the land team:

NEW SITES
Catesby Selected To Promote Strategic Extension To Haverhill
We are pleased to announce we have entered into an agreement to promote a significant and strategic extension to Haverhill, Suffolk. Savills Cambridge acted on behalf of the landowners.
Following the exchange of contracts, Catesby will now be moving forward with local stakeholders to deliver this exciting vision for the area.
Totalling 750 acres (304 ha), the site is located across both West Suffolk and Braintree District Authority areas, and has capacity for up to 5,000 new homes alongside additional community facilities including new schools, local centres, employment and leisure use.
Chief Executive of Catesby Estates, Myron Osborne said; “We are delighted to have agreed to work on behalf of the landowners as their land promotion partner. This site has huge potential for delivering high quality new homes and facilities for the area.”
Four Land Sites Added
To The Portfolio
In addition to the strategic extension at Haverhill, a haul of other well located and sustainable sites have been added to the Catesby promotion portfolio, these include:
“As the second largest settlement in West Suffolk, with direct road access to Cambridge located just 20 miles away, Haverhill has been identified as a key growth area due to its proximity to employment areas including Cambridge, the M11 corridor and Stansted Airport.”
“The transport and growth agenda being pursued in Cambridgeshire and across the wider region, including the CamOx growth arc and future proposals for the Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro (CAM) to connect Haverhill with the wider area, strengthens the case for future strategic scale residential growth around the town.”
A greenfield land site at Bishops Green, Newbury, totalling 55 acres and lying adjacent to an existing employment area with over 180 businesses, employing 2,000 people. Carter Jonas acted on behalf of the landowners.
A 34.4 acre greenfield site south of Titchfield Lane, Wickham. Wickham is identified as a key market town within the emerging Local Plan.
A 34.7 acre greenfield site off Thanet Way, Whitstable in a sustainable location with a range of local facilities and services within walking distance. Bidwells acted on behalf of the landowner.
And finally, 77 acres of greenfield land to the south of Lower Rainham Road in Gillingham, which is a key settlement within Medway providing a good range of local facilities. Savills Sevenoaks acted on behalf of the landowners.
