Persimmon Homes submits plans for 250 homes near Peterborough

Summarised from Cambridgeshire Live's report · Updated 23 Oct, 07:39 · Archive

Persimmon Homes has submitted plans for 250 new homes on Peakirk Road in Glinton, near Peterborough. The development would comprise around 75 affordable homes, including affordable rent and shared ownership housing, alongside a mix of one to five-bedroomed properties. A children's play area with at least six play experiences is also proposed. The developer has secured financial contributions towards improvements to the A15 and Glinton roundabout, as well as highway safety measures, public open spaces and biodiversity management.

Outline planning permission was initially submitted to Peterborough City Council in 2024 but more than 100 residents and interested parties objected, raising concerns about infrastructure capacity, traffic and the overall scale of the development. An appeal was lodged to the Planning Inspectorate, which granted outline planning permission in January 2025 despite the previous backlash. Persimmon is now holding a public consultation at Glinton Village Hall on 3 November from 2.30pm to 6.15pm, with feedback also available via the development website.
