Land at Hinxton
By reference to Figure 40 of the first proposals plan, SmithsonHill notes that its site at Hinxton is strategically placed in the centre of this area - outside of green belt, immediately north of the Genome Campus policy area, and adjacent to Whittlesford Parkway Station.
It is considered that there is substantial potential for future proposals on the SmithsonHill land to contribute positively to the rural southern cluster.
SmithsonHill will be further exploring this potential, with the option to adapt and amend its AgriTech proposal to involve a broader mix of employment uses.
