The site at Alma Road, Peterborough was previously a sports ground owned by Perkins Engines and had been derelict for a number of years when it was purchased by Accent Nene in 2004. The site is being redeveloped to provide new housing as well as recreation facilities which can be used by the wider community. Works are progressing well on site and the scheme is planned to complete mid 2008.

The seven-acre site is being redeveloped to provide 79 homes (3 x 5 bedroom houses and 2 bedroom apartments) which will include homes for affordable rent, shared ownership and outright sale. A significant proportion of the site will remain as public open space, some of which will be landscaped while some will be designed as play areas. A £5 million Extra Care Housing Scheme, which will be operated by Axiom Housing Association, will also be built at Alma Road. The development will comprise 35 flats for rent and five for shared ownership and will include a range of communal facilities.

There is also currently a provision on the site for a Primary Care Facility, the details are yet to be finalised but the intention is that it will serve the needs of the new community as well as existing residents in the surrounding area.
