Redeveloping Wisbech Road in March
BREE Construction was appointed to redevelop the Wisbech Road site in March, Cambridgeshire, delivering 118 new affordable homes for Sage Homes under the Leaf Living brand. The contract, worth around 23 million pounds, is one of several affordable housing schemes in the area progressing to construction, and represents a substantial commitment to new affordable supply in Fenland.
The scheme secured planning approval from Fenland District Council ahead of work starting, having progressed through the council's planning committee. It is listed among the affordable housing projects supported within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority's current programme of housing delivery.
A live affordable scheme
Construction is under way to bring forward the 118 homes, redeveloping the Wisbech Road site and adding a significant number of affordable properties to the town of March. The project sits within the combined authority's wider push to lay foundations on new affordable schemes across Cambridgeshire, where Wisbech Road was named among the projects due to break ground.
Once complete, the development will deliver affordable housing in Fenland, supporting Sage Homes and Leaf Living in growing their affordable portfolio in the East of England. The redevelopment of the Wisbech Road site reflects BREE's continuing role in delivering large affordable schemes for major housing providers, taking the project from contract award through approval and into active construction.
Building affordable supply in Fenland
The Wisbech Road redevelopment forms part of a broader effort across Cambridgeshire to bring forward affordable housing, with the scheme named among six projects due to lay foundations and supported within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority's programme. Securing approval from Fenland District Council was a key step in enabling the 118 homes to proceed.
Worth around 23 million pounds, the contract gives Sage Homes and Leaf Living a substantial new affordable scheme in the town of March.
