We’re pleased to share that planning has been granted for 54 new homes at Soulbury Road in Leighton Buzzard, delivered in partnership with Peabody.

This has been a three-year journey shaped by collaboration, persistence and a shared ambition to create something that genuinely works for the people who will live there.

Rather than treating landscape as an afterthought, the scheme has been designed as a living environment. A central green spine connects homes to one another and to nature, with play, biodiversity and sustainable drainage integrated into the everyday experience of the place.

The homes themselves have been designed with future residents in mind, prioritising comfort, energy performance and long-term resilience. By embedding Passivhaus principles from the outset, the scheme has the potential to deliver warm, healthy homes with lower running costs.

Projects like this remind us that affordable housing should never mean compromise. It can be generous, thoughtful and rooted in its setting.
