The Cambridge East proposals align with the 2018 Local Plan requirements, with significant formal, such as sports pitches and urban squares, and informal, such as new accessible ‘countryside’ in the green corridor, proposed. In addition, the greenspace is to be dispersed, occurring throughout the development and within the developed areas themselves. The ambition is to ensure that where appropriate green spaces are multi-functional, but that they also have one key ambition that should not be compromised.

Marshall is placing a significant emphasis on the creation of active travel only streets and want to create a development that is less reliant on the car and that encourages people to travel by active means. The active streets will also become green spaces in their own right, providing opportunities for new playspace and areas to socialise within.
