Plans for the next phase of Cambridge North have been submitted by the Chesterton Partnership.
The joint venture between Brookgate, Network Rail and DB Cargo said the proposals would support 4,300 additional jobs with labs, offices, amenity uses and 425 new homes as well as new public realm and green spaces on the former railway sidings next to Cambridge North station.
The 425 homes comprise one, two and three-bedroom flats in three new residential blocks. Under the plan, 40% of the 155 homes for private sale will be designated as affordable housing.
The outline planning application also includes two commercial buildings for office and R&D use, while a full application will see the development of three office and R&D buildings, as well as the construction of a multi-storey car and cycle park.
Sven Topel, chief executive at Brookgate, said: “The next phase of the regeneration of the derelict land surrounding the new Cambridge North railway station will create a new community that will be enjoyed by those that live and work there but also by its neighbours and those that visit.”
Overall, the scheme will deliver 578,000 sq ft of new commercial space, including 57,620 sq ft of ground-floor space for cafes, shops, bars, a creche, health uses, co-working and community spaces.
