Development
Shaping the next chapter of the Cambridge southern fringe in partnership with leading developers and local authorities.
Long-term thinking on the city edge
The land we hold sits where Cambridge meets the countryside, which makes how it is developed a decision worth getting right.
We work with developers, planners and local authorities on schemes that respond to the growth of Cambridge and the Biomedical Campus, while keeping the character of the villages around us intact.
As a long-standing landowner rather than a short-term investor, we are able to take a generational view. That shapes the partners we choose and the commitments we are willing to make on infrastructure, landscaping and public access.
Balancing growth and greenbelt
Every scheme is assessed against its effect on the wider estate: farmland productivity, woodland and hedgerow networks, footpaths and the setting of existing homes.
Where land is brought forward, we look for lasting benefit to the local community alongside the commercial case.
