The ambitious plans to develop the north-east area of Ely are coming closer to fruition. The development is being spearheaded by the Church Commissioners for England who applied to East Cambridgeshire District Council for planning permission so that 500 hundred new homes can be built at the east of the city’s Princess of Wales Hospital at Highflyer Farm.

A new survey has found that two Cambridgeshire districts are among those named as the most desirable places to live in the UK. East Cambridgeshire was the highest ranking area in the county as it was placed in 4th position in the sixth annual Halifax Quality of Life Survey.

Hundreds of jobs could come be created if plans are approved for a new supermarket and petrol station in Soham. The plans for the ‘Northern Gateway’ in The Shade area of Soham have been announced by Harrier Developments.
