Cambridge 25
Proposals for a high-quality new employment park on land next to Junction 25 of the A14.
July 2026 update
We have now submitted our outline planning application (OPA) for the Cambridge 25 site to Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service (GCSPS).
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our public consultation which has been invaluable to us in refining the proposals during the pre-application phase.
This OPA is the product of several years of engagement with officers at GCSPS, members at South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC), other stakeholders, and two stages of community engagement, all of which has helped us to design a sustainable new employment park that fits with the best design principles, in particular placing jobs near homes.
Following validation of the application, GCSPS will engage with a range of consultees before the application is determined by SCDC’s planning committee.
We will continue to keep this website updated throughout the planning process.

March 2026 update
The additional public consultation on our wider site masterplan has now closed.
We invited feedback from the local community on our draft proposals for the wider Cambridge 25 site during a public consultation which took place between 17 February – 10 March 2026. Thank you to everyone who engaged with us and provided comments on the proposals. All feedback submitted during the consultation period will be considered by the project team ahead of the submission of an outline planning application in spring.

February 2026 update
Last year (autumn 2025) we introduced our proposals for Cambridge 25 and invited views from the community and stakeholders to inform an initial planning application. This was for c.123,000 square metres of employment space on our land at J25 of the A14.
Then, in an important next step for the emerging new Greater Cambridge Local Plan, the wider Cambridge 25 site received a draft allocation as a major new employment site for c.240,000 square metres of floor space – reinforcing our site's suitability as a key part of the district's future growth plans.
Recognising this – and responding to the wider site allocation for employment – we're carrying out further consultation on an updated masterplan that is both comprehensive for the full site and more closely aligned to the aspirations and objectives of the Draft Local Plan.
Everything we learned from consulting on the initial 2025 proposals has been carried forward into our revised designs.
A guide to this consultation
The video below explains what we are consulting on, how it relates to our autumn 2025 consultation and how you can shape our wider site masterplan before we submit our planning application.
More information on our autumn consultation, including the feedback we received and how we have responded to it through our revised masterplan, can be found throughout this website, including on the Autumn 2025 consultation page.

The Cambridge 25 site
The site is immediately east of the A14 and north of the A1307 between Bar Hill and Northstowe.
It is ideally located to help meet the identified need for employment floorspace in Greater Cambridge. It has excellent access to the strategic road network including the A14 and M11, as well as existing pedestrian and cycle routes connecting the site to local villages and into the city.
This makes it the nearest suitable site to Cambridge that's not in the Green Belt.
The Cambridge 25 site’s suitability was recognised through the draft allocation it received in the draft Greater Cambridge Local Plan for around 240,000 square metres of employment floorspace with ancillary uses.
