With insufficient brownfield sites in the urban area and too few allocated sites to meet long term demand, new land must be allocated in the Local Plan if growth in Cambridge is to be effectively enabled for the wider benefit of residents and the economy. Given the significant investment planned in new sustainable transport infrastructure, there are places at the edge of Cambridge that offer opportunity to accommodate future demand in a way that is sustainable and inclusive. Vision 2050 identifies how the land SE and SW of Cambridge Biomedical Campus can be developed to form a sustainable urban extension.
