Stanton House redevelopment

Open for comments until Friday 28 November 2025.

Through Cambridge Investment Partnership (CIP) - the equal partnership between Cambridge City Council and The Hill Group - we are working to redevelop the vacant and outdated housing at Stanton House. 

CIP was created to support the council in tackling the city’s housing affordability crisis by delivering high-quality new council homes and market-sale homes – both of which are in high demand – and associated commercial and community facilities.

Stanton House is located in the heart of Cambridge, a short walk from the city centre and immediately surrounded by some of the city’s best-used parks and open spaces, including New Square Park.

The site benefits from excellent access to shops, services and community facilities at the Grafton Centre, as well as nearby bus routes and the Cambridge cycle network.

In June 2024, the Council’s Housing Scrutiny Committee agreed to move residents out of the ageing buildings at Stanton House, after an independent report found they no longer met modern requirements for space, safety or sustainability. Redevelopment was considered the best option to provide homes that meet modern standards.

Proposals

• 29 modern, sustainable and high-quality council homes. including two M4(3) homes for wheelchair users
• A mix of one, two and three-bedroom homes
• Biodiversity improvements that sensitively fit into the surrounding area
• A 55% increase in open space, including a central landscaped courtyard with sensory planting
