Edge of Cambridge

Introduction

3.2.1. We want to complete the planned new neighbourhoods on the edge of Cambridge from previous plans, as well as bringing forward new opportunities for sustainable developments that successfully link the city to the countryside, and where active and public transport is the natural first choice.

3.2.2. Our ambition is to create vibrant and active communities that reflect the characteristics of Cambridge. These should be lively, mixed-use areas to live and work, with local centres of community activity, and their design should enhance the setting of Cambridge in the wider landscape. We think that development around the edge of Cambridge should come with improved green and natural spaces that are accessible for everyone to enjoy, forming parts of an expanded network of green infrastructure across the area.
