Land south of Fulbourn Road and north of Worts Causeway, known as Cambridge South East (HELAA site 40058)

The site would support the sustainable expansion of a successful high technology research and development cluster, building on the principles already established through allocations which demonstrate the inherent suitability of this location in contributing to meeting development needs. South East Cambridge can facilitate employment growth despite its current location within the Green Belt, and the site can be delivered to accommodate employment space of a scale complementary to the GCLP current direction of travel. Furthermore, the delivery of more employment space must be supported by the delivery of additional housing to ensure unsustainable commuting patterns are not perpetuated. Delivery of additional housing east of GB1 provides this opportunity.
