The University of Cambridge has said it is considering delivering 6,000 homes at Eddington in North-west Cambridge, double the 3,000 that it had originally planned to build on the site. 

In 2013, the university received planning permission to build up to 3,000 homes in the outskirts of Cambridge, with half of the homes designated as University of Cambridge keyworker homes, and the other half as market homes.  

Around 1,100 of the 1,800 homes planned as part of the first phase of the development have now been built. A primary school has also been built and opened.
