GRANGE FARM MASTERPLAN

Cambridge, UK


Grange Farm is a plan for a new market town in South Cambridgeshire, creating a truly sustainable community with beautiful homes delivered alongside social infrastructure and nature. It minimises carbon emissions and private car reliance by providing homes within walking and cycling distance of employment, adjacent to major science parks and combines on-site jobs with walkability and sustainable commuting, including small-scale electric transport options. It provides for thriving neighbourhoods with a variety of jobs and incomes with space for start-ups and businesses of all sizes including schools, community facilities, and civic buildings.

It devotes 100 acres of land that enhance nature, wildlife and green spaces increasing biodiversity with greater resilience to flood risk and sustainable water management, and space for recreation, including new parkland and recreational space. It Safeguards Cambridgeshire’s unique heritage and landscape by providing buildings that are sympathetic to Cambridgeshire’s unique character, combining the best of traditional architecture and modern placemaking so as to create a new, vibrant market town that belongs to the area. This will be done by the use of a design code associated with the masterplan.
