BOURN AIRFIELD DEVELOPMENT

Plans announced for new village on Bourn Airfield

Growth plans for the next 20 years revealed this week (Tuesday 14 May) would see a new town built at Waterbeach, a new village on a brown field site at Bourn Airfield, an extension of Cambourne and homes on the edge of Cambridge to provide well connected and much-needed housing to support around 44,000 new jobs forecast to be created in the area up until 2031.

Council bosses have said that forecasted population and economic growth means an additional 8,800 homes will be needed by 2031 in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire. This is on top of just over 24,000 homes already being built or in agreed plans, on sites in and on the edge of Cambridge as well as at the new town of Northstowe.

Of the 3,500 homes proposed at Bourn Airfield less than 1,500 would be built before 2031 giving flexibility in plans as large developments take a longer time to get off the ground.

A period of public consultation will run between 19th July and 30th September 2013

The Parish Council are keen to hear your views. Please contact us with them.

A428 Closures

From 9th May, for approx 4 weeks improvement works on the A428 between Tesco roundabout and the Cambourne junction will take place. Works will involve the repairs to worn out sections of the road surface and the renewal of roadmarkings.

The overnight works will be undertaken using road closures. The works are due to commence on the evening of Thursday 9 May for approximately 4 weeks and the hours of work will be between 8.00pm and 6.00am weekdays only. The programmed closure dates are:

  • 9-16 May: Tesco roundabout to Tithe Farm roundabout
  • 17-28 May: Tithe Farm roundabout and the Eltisley junction
  • 29-30 May: Eltisley junction and Caxton Gibbet roundabout
  • 31 May-3 June: Westbound between the Cambourne junction and Caxton Gibbet roundabout including the westbound Cambourne entry slip
  • 4-6 June: Eastbound between Caxton Gibbet roundabout and the Cambourne junction including the eastbound Cambourne entry slip

A fully signed diversion route will be in place for traffic wishing to travel on the A428. The strategic diversion route will be via the A1 and the A14 to Girton.

Gatemen will be positioned in strategic areas and access will be maintained for local residents within the closures and emergency services, although we do ask that the site speed limit be adhered to whilst travelling through the closures.

Carillion WSP will endeavour to keep delays to a minimum and complete the repair work as quickly as possible but delays are expected and you should allow extra time for your journeys or seek alternative routes. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during these essential works.
