The rural southern cluster

Introduction

3.4.1. The south of Cambridge, between the M11 and the A1307, is home to a range of major business parks with world-leading facilities and has some excellent and improving public transport links.

3.4.2. Our ambition is to support and grow this successful and nationally important business cluster by providing more business space where needed. In addition to the Grange Farm new settlement (see New Settlement chapter), some new housing is allocated in and around existing villages that are well-connected to jobs by public transport, cycling and walking facilities.
