Cambridge West planning documents

The University submitted an outline planning application in June 2016 for up to 383,300 sq m of development to support the proposals to create a premier location for physical sciences and technology. The original planning application documents were submitted to the local authorities in June 2016, and supplementary planning information was submitted in October 2017 and October 2020. After Planning Committee approval in 2021, and agreement of the Section 106 in 2023, final documentation was submitted in March 2024 ahead of the granting of Outline Planning Approval on 21 June 2024.
