There are currently 2500 applicants on the housing register and the council are going to develop the Mill Road Depot to deliver 187 new homes. 94 of these will be Council Homes, open space will comprise 28% of the site area. AND the YMCA are going to build accommodation for 140-150 people on the site.
In return the council will take over their existing building on Gonville Place and that will provide an opportunity to level the YMCA building and the current Council Car Park to provide a large site for an underground car park and homes above; other options may be considered but we are set to deliver more council homes on this site.

This evening Strategy and Resources Committee agreed the arrangements for the Cambridge Investment Partnership. This is potentially going to be the vehicle for delivery of the homes on Mill Road Depot. No decisions have yet been made as to how this site will be developed but we have an assurance that at least 50% of the homes will be council houses.
There will be a further public consultation on the 2nd November. Watch this space for time and venue
