Swedish contractor Skanska – which last year announced its intention to enter the UK residential market – has received full planning consent for its first residential development scheme. The 6.5 acre site forms part of Countryside Properties’ Great Kneighton development in Cambridge and was purchased with outline planning permission for 128 properties, including both houses and apartments (pictured). Skanska has also completed the purchase of its second residential development site, again at Great Kneighton. This new 12 acre site has outline planning permission for up to 310 houses and apartments. <br>
