The benefits to Cambridge Residents

New housing, schools, shops and facilities

The North West Cambridge development will be a sustainable mixed-use scheme, to create a thriving community of housing, employment and local services. Added to which it will be designed to high standards so that it is sympathetic to the variety of design in the rest of the city.

For existing residents this means new housing will be provided which will help to relieve the general shortage of housing in the city.

Immediate neighbours will benefit from new community services which might include a school, library, health centre and leisure facilities, together with local shopping facilities.

More accessible green space

There will also be new access for residents to the green open areas that will run through the site and links to the countryside beyond.

Much-improved transport links

The North West Cambridge development will also contribute to major infrastructure improvements in the area, including better provision for both pedestrians and cyclists and enhanced public transport links to the city centre.
