JTP has won planning permission for a 2,800-home urban extension to the Cambridgeshire town of St Neots.

Its scheme for developer Urban & Civic also includes two primary schools, shops, a health centre and 63,000sq m of space for commercial uses – some of which will be targeted at the creative industries.

Landscaping for the new neighbourhood, to be known as Wintringham, will also feature a new linear park that will deliver a new walking and cycling route to the centre of St Neots.
