Description
Great Kneighton will provide 2,550 new homes for Cambridge and become home to 5,800 people in vibrant new neighbourhoods. This new community will enjoy new schools, shopping parks, recreational and community facilities with new and improved transport connections, including an extensive footpath/cycleway network.
A major new public open space of 120 acres will be provided and contain balancing ponds, allotments, formal sports pitches and wetland which will become a major habitat for wading birds, as well as a valuable public amenity. In addition, there will be informal recreational space and play areas throughout the development.
Great Kneighton is well located in relation to the city centre, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Trumpington village and the local public transport network. The development will be served by the Cambridge Guided Bus (CGB) which runs directly through the site, including a stop close to the centrally located neighbourhood centre. The CGB will serve key parts of the new development, and be accessible to all residents within the village of Trumpington.
At the heart of the project will be an attractively designed central square hosting essential neighbourhood facilities including a new community/health centre, library, shops, offices and transport hub. From the development, the new and wider community will be able to gain direct access to Addenbrook's Hospital and the Cambridge railway station via the CGB, complemented by a conventional bus route running throughout the site.
Great Kneighton has been designed to respect the existing character of the site and to successfully integrate with surrounding communities. There will be extensive open space and new landscaping that will promote an enhanced, interconnected environment in addition to new allotments and a contribution will also be made to public art.
