Go-ahead for 39 new homes in Ampthill

We have received planning permission from Central Bedfordshire Council to demolish and redevelop Katherine’s Gardens, an independent living scheme, and Katherine’s House, the site of their former office in Ampthill.

The approved development will see 39 one and two bedroomed homes, for social rent and shared ownership, built for people over 55. The homes are part of 1,500 Grand Union has committed to build over the next five years to play its part in ending the housing crisis.

As part of the organisation’s environmentally responsible approach and their priority for energy efficient homes, we’re looking to exceed building regulation requirements, with these new homes achieving Energy Performance Level B as a minimum.

Demolition is expected to take place later this year with development completion in the spring of 2026.
