The proposed scheme, which will be further developed with input from the local community and key stakeholders, seeks to make provision for a high-quality residential and employment scheme reflecting the local vernacular of Cambridge.

It also includes targets to meet net-zero carbon and significant biodiversity net gains, along with a commitment of significant areas of land to provide improved publicly accessible green space, with strong linkages to Cambridge’s existing nature networks.
