The North East Quadrant will increase the current development by a third and increase employment space by 50,000 ft squared .

CG Fry is currently building hundreds of the new homes and commercial units . The buildings will be a mix of classical and vernacular in style and range from classically designed five-bedroom houses to onebedroom apartments . Some will have soaring views over the Great Field and others will look north over the countryside . Philip Fry , Managing Director of CG Fry , said : “ The latest phase features inspired design and places even greater emphasis on energy efficiency and reduction on fuel demand .” During the next 12 months , 48 new homes will be handed over to the Guinness Partnership for their tenants and offered for shared ownership opportunities .
