Full text:

The institutions that comprise the constituent parts of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus have formed a corporate entity (CBC Limited) for the purpose of speaking and acting as a single voice on all matters relating to the development and enhancement of the Campus. CBC Limited has produced a long term vision for the evolution of the Campus into a sustainable, mixed use Innovation District, which requires further development at the Campus and its phased expansion onto land to the south (the 2050 Vision).

The landowners south of the Campus whose land is identified for development comprise two landowners (Cambridgeshire County Council – as a landowner – and a private family trust) who have come together to work with CBC Limited to enable the sustainable development of the Campus in accordance with the principles of the 2050 Vision (the landowners). The family trust and the County Council have land identified for development within the Campus (known as Phase 3, which was allocated in 2018) and for the potential expansion of the Campus (Phase 4 as identified in the Preferred Options).
