Bold architecture, green spaces and walkable streets create a vibrant new neighbourhood inspired by Huntingdon's heritage.
Heritage roots. Fresh new future.
We are exploring the potential for the current bus station and car park on Princes Street to become a vibrant new gateway into Huntingdon.
The ideas we’re currently exploring look at bringing new homes, a public-facing café and resident amenities to the site, alongside lush green landscaping and new spaces for everyone to enjoy. There’s an opportunity to create a welcoming arrival into the town, with bold architecture, better connections and heritage-inspired design that feels right for Huntingdon.
We’re still at an early stage in shaping the proposals, and the plans will continue to evolve as we hear from local people and work through the detail with the Council.
Parking is a key part of those conversations. We’re looking at how parking could work as part of the site, including accessible spaces for Blue Badge users. We’ll be working to understand how the proposals can fit into that bigger picture and make sure the needs of people using the town are properly considered.
The Plans.
We’ve got big plans for two key sites, which are currently a working bus terminal and car park. We’ll be exploring potential plans to turn this part of Huntingdon into a lively new neighbourhood and providing a new gateway to the town, which includes:
• Up to 78 new homes across both sites, marrying the market town’s heritage with bold architecture
• A centralised hub, known as Grade 2* Listed Cowper House with an on-site cafe. While for residents there are amenities including a gym, mini-cini and flexible workspace.
• Verdant green spaces, with trees, lush planting and pocket parks
• On the Gateway site, we want to use the site’s history to create a new iconic landmark which will complement Huntingdon’s signature market town monuments.
• The Worker’s Cottages, will sit within the Neighbourhood scheme, nestled into the roof top canopy of nearby trees, providing a serene suburbia and a quieter place for residents to live and relax in.
• Cowper House will form a central zone to connect the development to the rest of the community
Have your say.
