East Cambridgeshire District Council has allocated 210 Hectares of land on the north side of Ely for a new neighbourhood of around 3000 homes with local facilities and space for new businesses.  The North Ely Development Framework is being adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document to guide development proposals, and an outline application is now being submitted for the first phase of the development.  Peter has been retained by the Council to act as a 'critical friend' to assess the quality of the submitted proposals as they come forward, providing independent scrutiny and helping to ensure that the development meet the authority's high aspirations for design quality and sustainability.
