Outline planning permission 19/00836/OUT for the construction of up 265 homes on Eyebury Road next to the primary school was approved on the 18 Dec 2023. Supporting letter here. Without a doubt this is the largest single housing development in the villages history.
This development has been going through the planning process for a few years, first showing up in the Local Plan that was approved in 2019.
Eye has been ‘royally dumped on’ when comes to taking a share of village developments in the Peterborough area as can be seen by the villages growth between 2011-21: www.eyeparish.org.uk/eye-parish-growth/, but as this recent approval shows it isn’t going to stop there.
